Don Martin sound effects Considered Harmful

Some sort of on-screen info that can appear to give, uh, on-screen info, and disappear to not interfere with the display has been on my wish-list for… 1.5 years? Always something more “fun” to work on (or paying, to work on. ugh).

So, this was finally a kick in the butt.

I implemented a quick version over lunch that initially displays on page-load, fades out, then appears/disappears on hover. And displays citations for Don Martin, the DM Dictionary and CJ’s original code inspiration.

Still a few bugs in the system, since the initial fade-out will cause mouse-overs to be put into a queue… which then gets all “blinky” if the mouse has moved around.

Thanks for the push!
