Finally I had time to port some features from my maurus.net staging host. For some time now, I’ve been experimenting with all kinds of JavaScript toolkits (Prototype in particular). Last week I integrated the excellent WordPress Widgets Plug-In in my theme and rolled out the changeable header graphic (you’ve noticed that, didn’t you? ;-)). Today, in this code update for maurus.net, there’s new JavaScript functionality.

I tend to clutter my articles with lots of notes that are important to create context, but might turn a reader away. So go and meet the new hide-the-notes button.

I know that it’s not particularly impressive, but with all dynamic JavaScript-based features, I think a lot of thought has to go into their usability and graceful fallback abilities, so I’m not very eager to add such things before testing them extensively.
