Each Friday I take a moment to spotlight one of the less practical and more frivolous uses of JavaScript. This
week's entry is appearing on Saturday due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Now that nothing remains of the celebration but
leftover turkey in the fridge, on to business.
Speaking of bad segues, The Fridge is an online equivalent of the
magnetic poetry craze of a few years ago. An assortment of "magnets"
containing words are displayed, and you can drag and drop them to form poetry or randomness. While silliness of this
magnitude would normally require Java or
Shockwave or
Flash, The Fridge is all done in DHTML. A cool feature is the
ability to select your own words from a web page. Here's a
JavaScript Fridge for your semi-enjoyment.
Oh, speaking of Thanksgiving—I'd like to thank the many readers of this site for encouraging me to keep it up, and
especially those who have sent comments, tips or corrections. Keep 'em coming!
