02.15.2006 - Ugh...
I think I've written a number of fairly kick ass things for this site over the years, and while they get a decent amount of traffic, I'm no where near using up any bandwidth allocations here on slayeroffice.
So imagine my surprise when I got up this morning and found that a long deprecated, embarrassing piece of obtrusive, inaccessible javascript had been dugg and had thrown more traffic this way than anything ever. Horror would be a better word than surprise.
For what seems forever now, when someone has asked me about the old image cross fader script I would explain to them that it's still listed for historical value but shouldn't be used. I'd then point them to Patrick Lauke's improved version. I'd long meant to add a notice to the page redirecting to Patrick's version, but...well, you know - no one was really looking at it and I had other things going on and never got around to it.
What I find really interesting is that so many people have found the original code a good example of how to do something like this. It seems the unobtrusive scripting camp has a lot more work to do. It makes my stomach hurt to consider myself as part of the obtrusive scripting problem, so I've re-coded the thing as it should have been in the first place and will be vigorously pruning the older content here (some of it has been de-listed entirely) and putting notices up where they belong.
My apologies to those who dugg the original.
Kindest -- Bill

Great script! Thanx for the rewrite working in Firefox 1.5, IE7b2 and Opera9 Beta!
