HTML\/Javascript Choice of Two Flipping Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

We are so glad to be back into “positive” territory today, after yesterday’s (HTML\/Javascript Choice of Two Strikes Tutorial<\/a>) blowing of our tiny little mind, with its “double negative” possibilities … do you remember?<\/p>\n

\n

We are often asked for the choice between two. All of this digital world is based on it, after all. It is probably easier for most people to handle the “positive” choice between two, sort of like you’d expect with an HTML input type=checkbox scenario, and we’ve got to say, we’d prefer that approach. However, there are many approaches with presenting the choices, especially if it is a choice between two awful prospects, when we tend to want to reject the worst one. This “double negative” type of scenario is very common, and polls can get vastly different results if the question allows this ambiguity, as it probably asks most users to sit back and think about the question, and then perhaps question their “gut” instincts.<\/p>\n

Today we present an ESL<\/a> Tutorial reworded from that one that is presented in the book “How English Works” by Michael Swan and Catherine Walter, talking about how future events can sometimes be described using Present tense verb structures, in preference to Future tense verbs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, as we said, today, in a more positive frame of mind, our “choice of two” methodology is to pick the correct answer, this time, for most of the length of its incarnation (save for a short different glimpse at the start of what to expect), being an HTML td (table cell) element masquerading as a button, but rotating horizontally via the use of CSS3 keyframes<\/a> with great help from this useful link<\/a>, and which we have discussed a bit here at this blog<\/a>. How do you catch it with a click? Think of merry go rounds and getting on, but please no pushing!<\/p>\n

We’ve made this the default behaviour today, but we’ve also done a lot of work on genericity also …<\/p>\n
