Slider Update – Tab Feature Coming Together

Michael Robinson — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:49:56 +0000

As I finally reached a programming goal I had set – the tab hover javascript was working fairly well – I realised that users would want the option of positioning the tabs in the middle or corners of Slider’s four sides. Initially I had assumed it would be OK for users to have tabs positioned [...]

The Mutations of Slider’s Tab Option Pane

Michael Robinson — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:46:15 +0000

During the past week, I’ve been working on Slider’s new Tab option pane. I took screen shots before making changes to the layout. Here they are: I hope I’m not tempted to change things around again… I really need to get the backend going now! Related posts: Slider Progress: Slider Styling Option Pane During the [...]

Slider Progress: Slider Styling Option Pane

Michael Robinson — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:51:10 +0000

During the great rewrite, I’ve been trying to focus on one section at a time. The first section to come under attack was “everything pertaining to the styling of Slider that is not Arrow-related”. After much mucking-about I decided to combine the Border, Rounded Corner, Background Image, Gradient and Background Colour onto one Pane. I [...]

Return an NSMutableString as NSString Avoiding “Uncaught Error 11″ with Cocoa

Michael Robinson — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:22:11 +0000

Another stumbling block on the road to Slider completion was this: NSUncaughtSystemExceptionException — Uncaught system exception: signal 11 This vague and unhelpful error message (in this case) was caused by my trying to return an NSMutableString in place of an NSString: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 [...]

Short-Sighted Programming

Michael Robinson — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:02:55 +0000

Today a customer informed me that Slider wasn’t working properly on his webpage. They gave me the URL to the problem page, and for a page with a working (properly) version of Slider. Initially I was perplexed, but it dawned on me that the code for parsing out the cell numbers can only parse single-digit [...]
