1 typo/error

There’s a typo/error right after “The concept”:

Swtichers

That aside, great to see another article on ALA, finally. Looking good :-) And it’s something I’m very likely to use. Kudos :)

2 Applause

Can you hear my applause all the way from here in Australia? Will read and re-read in more depth at a later date, but I’m excited!

3 Nice article

Great article. Nice to see ALA is back in business, too.

I’m afraid there’s some quote curling where there shouldn’t be — in the first code snippet, for instance.

4 Safari Problems

Alas, Safari (1.2.4, v125.11) seems to have problems with the techniques. On the test page, the switcher widgets don’t appear at all. Sigh

6 Hurrah!

I can hear the click of keys as people across the internet type: “a-l-i-s-t-a-p-a-r-t.-c-o-m” ;)

Great article to come up with.

As for Ian Beatty “Safari problems” I am on the same rev of safari and I was able to see all the widgets fine.

Not sure why you couldnt.

7 re: Safari Problems

Test page works perfectly in Safari 1.2.4 v.125.11 (my Safari version is exactly the same as yours and we naturally tested the demo before publishing it).

You may be having caching problems — or you might have caught the server during a weird slowdown/hiccup in which a page element failed to load.

Clearing your browser cache will demonstrate that the problem was in the cache; if another reader has the same experience using a different browser, it will prove the problem is on our server, and not in the code.

In any case, the project works across browsers and platforms and we never, ever forget to check in Safari. :D

9 Hello... [tap] [tap] [tap] Is this thing on?

I can’t believe a new article showed up in my RSS reader! What a pleasant Friday surprise!

Just digging into the article now, but it appears to be a fun concept that can allow for some pretty dynamic creations.

Cheers for making my Friday afternoon!

10 First dropdown works, the others don't

I am noticing in firefox that the contrast seems to work, but the serifs and fluid choices don’t work at all.
