I'm so old...
Hey, I thought I was done for the night, but this one caught my eye. The good news is that guru Zeldman is now doing an RSS feed. But the following caught me by surprise. The image on the left is the default button for this feed. The image on the right is the button for the mouseover. Yee gads! I know I'm close to bifocals, but am I the only one who thinks that these two are so close to each other as to be, umm, less than entirely useful as far as cueing behavior goes? Here's the main site if you want to check it out on your browser/platform. It occurs to me that the subtle change is more useful in the nav entries above the XML button, since this slight color change is at least more obvious against the standard color (which is what you see on the main nav items).

I don't think it has anything to do with age, Beth. I agree that they're a too close in appearance to achieve much of an effect. I'm not sure why he didn't make the XML button like his other nav buttons, where the text changes to white on mouseover. -- Posted by Joshua Kaufman on April 29, 2003 08:41 AMit appears (at least on my end) that observation resulted in action -- there's no missing the mouseover now. -- Posted by on April 29, 2003 12:02 PM
