I got tricked into thinking that Javascript was a user friendly language once again. I think I’ve finally learned that it hates me, maybe I’ll not try and fuss with it as much in the future. Anyhow I was able to tackle the latest beast of a problem thrown at me by my little brother.

He was interested in having a photo album that displayed the current photo as well as the next thumbnail and previous thumbnail, I wasn’t about to just display them and make you click on a separate button, of course I want to make you click on the thumbnail to go to the next page. Now this is where Javascript gets under my skin, I’ve got to jump through all their hoops regarding buttons on top of the style attributes I want to modify for the images.

It was a challenge, but it works now and it’s reasonably appealing to the eyes even though it’s not so appealing to the programmer behind them. Check out Reuben’s Photo Gallery for the moment, I’ll likely implement the same changes in my photo gallery sooner or later but it’s enough of a pain in the arse that I’m not keen enough tonight.
