You crib about something, curse the person (even in front of them) who designed / programmed something, suggest some improvements that could make it better, which that person is not able to do because of some constraints, and suddenly like a thunder lightning bolt out of the blue on a clear dark night sky, you get a chance to change it, to make it look better, to perfect it...... and you did not have the required skills to do. How it would feel :( ....
That is what, the situation i am in..... I had been cursing about the drop down menus implemented in my company's product. I don't know about the clients, but i certainly do criticize each everything which i feel is not worth to be there or in that way... Suddenly, the CEO calls and asked me yesterday can you do it. I was dumbstruck for a moment. Though i do not have the basic skills required ( i don't know javascript or even what css meant till yesterday), I accepted the work, because i am being given a chance to make something better than what it was previously. But how am i going to proceed.....
With the same belief with which i stepped into this company to work, i started off. i read the file a little, i could n't understand much, i took a few help from my Child, and then got off to some start, then did some small settings changes and made it a little workable, but it was still way off the mark. It was a work around to make people a little happy.
The task given was to convert the drop down menus from becoming active on mouseover, and getting deactivated on mouseout, it should be made to work on onclick event. I nearly achieved that, but yet again there was many a problem. Now i stand at the brink of the first level victory, it is nearly ready, yet it is not perfect, it does not finish off as the required. To be correct, it does not finish off at all. It does appear on mouse click, it holds even on mouse out, but it does not disappear on mouse click outisde the menu.....
