Spry Framework

WHERE WAS THIS THREE MONTHS AGO!???

After all the headache JavaScript has presented throughout the semester, I was almost shocked to see that all I've learned to do with JavaScript, which I'll admit isn't much, can be done within about ten minutes with the Spry Framework. I spent hours trying to get the code to work as it should and usually end up finding small typographical errors or other elements that are missing or incorrectly written.

In my short browse of what I've included in my Spry Framework page (quite literally thrown together), I can see some of the same elements which were used throughout the course. I notice there is a style for overflow: set to hidden in the CSS for the accordion style. Much of the other elements Spry includes are just for better looks on the page. I would definitely spend more time updating the styles to match the page if I had more time to do so. The JavaScript included with the Spry Framework uses many familiar commands. The latest in my curiosity with the script are Regular Expressions for searching data which can also be used for validating forms. I noticed they use that with Spry for searching out their classnames and applying styles.

I hope to learn how to use this with better efficiency in time, but for now, I'm probably going to focus more on server-sided coding for websites and use the client-side scripting for small things that make the page look cool without ruining the accessibility.
