There were many times that I found misspellings, wrong comma placements or other small mistakes on websites while surfing through the web. And I think my blog is no exception (these two sentences already sound incorrect somehow…)! And whenever I find one of those small mistakes I would really like to simply click into the text and relocate the comma or add the missing letter or whatever. Of course this isn’t possible (except for special Web2.0-sites like the Wikipedia). You have to use a contact form, an e-mail, the comments-function or the like if you actually want to call the website-owner’s attention to things like that. But a simple comma replacement isn’t worth the effort and imagine writing an E-mail like

Dear Sir or Madam,

on page xyz of your website is a misspelling in line 123. The word you use there is “mitsake”, yet I think you meant “mistake”. Please correct that.

Sincere regards …

Sounds snobish, does it?! That’s why I’ve written a little JavaScript- and PHP-Code to put my idea into action. See everything in detail after the jump.

Oh – My – Holy – God! I think my blog is officially dead now! After, uhm, not even 30 posts! But I’ve done a lot of things since March the twentieth, when I published the last post! And I mean things apart from twittering!

In April, for example, I developed a whole new WordPress-Theme called “JavaScript-OperatingSystem-Theme” (“JS-OS-Theme“). I’ve chosen this extraordinary name, because it’s based on JavaScript (and PHP of course, the WordPress-part!) and looks and behaves like an operating system. For all those of you who can speak German: Ihr könnt euch diesen Screencast ansehen, in dem ich das Theme ausführlich vorstelle. For all those of you who can’t: Enjoy the “ö”s and “ü”s in the last sentence and believe that all your stereotypes about Germany are true. Or go directly to trial.me-blogs-it.com – I’ve installed the Theme for experimental purpose and the test-posts are all in English!

I’ve done even more things in May!

Now, in June I began to teach myself Objective-C to write Mac and iPhone-Apps! I’ve already done a dozen of “Hello, World!”-Tutorials, yet I haven’t learned anything at all… But before I begin to bore you with this I rather tell you about the two other projects which ended up in further subdomains:

Actually I wanted to write a post about J.R. Rotem and “The Writing Team”, but it’s kinda much… So, instead here’s another CSS-post.

When you want a picture to change, while the cursor hovers over it, you usually use JavaScript’s <onMouseOver> in this way:

<img src=”picture.jpg” onmouseover=”this.src=’hover-picture.jpg’;” onmouseout=”this.src=’picture.jpg’;” />
 

Although this is the common way, there’s actually another, better and way simpler way to accomplish this hover-effect, which also works when JavaScript is turned off in the browser.  … read on!

Is that cool or what?! It’s worthwhile to learn more CSS than actually necessary! I didn’t know that you could specify styles for links e.g. without using classes or ids or the other usual stuff. You’re able to show the favicon of the site you’re referring to only with CSS – no JavaScript or PHP included! … read on!
