A few pages back I read about what it was and about the original m.jackson animation. I guess that's my main problem wih it: There's nothing intuitive about it and unless you go back and read messages in this thread you would have no idea what it is nor why it keeps popping up. And I would bet that even if you told people "The animation pops up when there are AJAX calls," I think the majority would have no idea what an AJAX call is. I barely do and I've been using Javascript for over eight years (I'm pretty sure it's a new-fangled Web 2.0 name for a mixture of javascript and css) I imagine it's a good debugging tool for you as the skin gets developed, but you may want to consider leaving it out of the eventual final version. -- NWP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NWP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
