Oh My God, It Works!

Category : Blog, Fun, Web Development · by Jul 20th, 2013

If you’ve ever tried to program something, uploaded the new version of the file, and sat biting your nails while the page slowly, slowly refreshes, and you hope that the error is something as simples as:

Not Found

The requested URL /doggie.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

But will probably go more along the lines of:

YOU ARE  TERRIBLE PERSON AND THERE IS AN EXTRA } SOMEWHERE IN YOUR FILE, BUT I’M NOT TELLING YOU WHERE MWAH HA HA

Then when you open one squinted eye to see which error it was, and the code actually works and something cool and functional is happening in your site, well, you can only gasp,

“Oh My God It Works!”

Maybe followed by your own “Mwah ha ha ha, in your face computer” and a little victory dance that makes your dog glare at you for interrupting her afternoon siesta.

This is what just happened to me when trying to translate a page from regular JavaScript to jQuery (yes, this is my idea of fun on a Saturday afternoon) and is why I *heart* JavaScript and jQuery SO MUCH.
