Simplifying Markup & Code
So what do you when you realise that the first approach may work, but isn't optimal? You do things right (or at least bettererer) the next time. The screenshot to the left shows the markup for a couple of dropdown lists using the previous methods of images and labels in place of actual dropdowns. You can clearly see how much coding was needed beyond the markup lines themselves.
To make this difference clearer, I've included the larger screenshot above, showing the revised markup approach for the new abstracted dropdowns, and the screenshot on the right to show the huge difference in just variable declarations, let alone the complexity of the methods that were previously needed to handle of the UI interaction.
See that... learnings is I gooderer 🙂
Stay awesome,
