Journal Sax Maniac's Journal: Stop using DOM as a windowing system 1
I tried to change my sig today and couldn't find it for about 10 minutes, because it's hidden behind a page that looks like documentation (not settings), inside a Web 2.0 in-browser miniature dialog box, and hidden below the fold accessible only by a nested scrollbar.
Help & Preferences? What the hell? Everyone knows help is totally useless, so we all mentally tune out everything that says "Help". You might as well change "Preferences" to be gray on gray.
Web programmers that use in-browser popups, animations, dialogs, fade-ins, and the worst: fake comboboxes that don't behave at all like real ones and have no keyboard access, should be shot. I'm looking at you, Facebook. Thank you.
Get off my lawn.
The worst part? (Score:2)
