A short note...
Yesterday I was looking into improving the privacy selectbox, notably to allow for friend groups to be specified, was planning to turn it into an object similar to the privacy button on Wedge.org (click the key icon next to a topic link (that you own, in a blog), and it opens up a popup, select Groups or something and it'll show you a checkbox list...), then I found out about selectbox replacement plugins for jQuery, looked into their code and demos, I particularly liked one (it basically creates an absolutely positioned div with scroll overflow like the key object in here, but does it while retaining compatibility with non-JS browsers so that'd be nice to use everywhere), anyway -- when packed and gzipped, the main script file is 5.89KB, and with the extra plugin (which I would clearly modify...), it's 8.52KB. So that's an increase of 50% in size, but OTOH it's still less than 3KB... And then on the other, other hand, 3KB is exactly the reason I'm not excited to upgrade jQuery to a newer version... :lol:
I'm not sure just yet.
The demo: http://labs.abeautifulsite.net/projects/js/jquery/selectBox/
Second time this week I'm on this website... I have no idea why I was there the first time, I just remember I liked their logo... And now I'm starting to realize my own logo for Wedge may have been unconsciously influenced by them :lol: No, no, it's just leaves... :^^;:
