Further Abstraction & Coding

I did a thing. Yep. And I'm going to show you. The screenshot on the left highlights some further changes I've made to the markup, to allow even more abstraction. This was done for a couple of reasons. First, to allow the dropdowns more flexibility in terms of when they need to load. Second, to reduce the need for specialised controls for different formats.

The two screenshots above show how this work has progressed. We can see the events triggered by the UI methods (note that no items are loaded into the dropdowns as yet, which is why clicking on them produces only that white bar at the base of the dropdowns). I know this may seem like a set of relatively small updates, but the effects later in the process will be significant. Especially when it's time to animate. And it took time to get everything working just right, knowing I'll be using this initial dropdown approach as a template too.

Yep. I did a something 🙂

Stay awesome,

EMH
