Whilst working this morning I wrote this piece of javascript for unobtrusively changing a parent window location from a clickable map


function map()
{
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return false;
if (!document.getElementById) return false;

var mapLinks = document.getElementsByTagName(”area”);
for (var i = 0; i < mapLinks.length; i++)
{

if(mapLinks[i].className==’getform’)
{

mapLinks[i].onclick=function()
{
var destination= this.getAttribute(’href’);

openform(destination);
return false;
}
}

}

}

function openform(destination)
{
this.opener.location.href=destination;
this.close();
return false;

}

But it just occurred to me is this, although unobstrusively written, obtrusive to control other windows? Is this accessible (would a screen reader be notified ?)
I think I need to check before I unleash this.

I notice from my trawl of blogs a link to Britpack.org I have always found britpack links at Malarky’s excellent site
Malarky’s excellent site is it just me or is movement afoot?

Maybe it’s in anticipation of this years SXSW and the great British invasion …?

A little slow I know but the blog is now running WordPress 2.1 “Ella”.
This is really a test post to annouce this and checkout the functionality and plugin support.

Extremeley impressed with the ease of update.

This post also announces the start of this blogs design project ..
I feel it is not correct to rely on others code or design although this is a fantastic N-Design creation I should go it alone as it were so I have dedicated some time to kickstart the project. Look out for future updates.
