Client: “I googled my name and there is some nasty stuff about me on the Internet. There is this guy saying in his blog that I am an idiot. I want you to remove that blog and block the Internet if they write shit about me.” Us: “We cannot do that.” Client: “Well, get someone else to do it…
For the last couple of weeks I’ve had my head deep in the new share ui project at work and today I started to look at some of the finishing touches, one of which was inspired by the iPhone contact list interface.
So when I got back from the office this evening I thought that I would site down and research the best way to implement it. I did my initial search around Google to see if I could find anyone else who had recreated this snazzy bit of ui and to my surprise I couldn’t find anyone who had.
“Excellent!” I thought to myself in my best Mr Burns style inner voice, as this could be a great first post to my newly created GitHub account. So I settled down in front of the TV with a fresh cuppa and the tv stuck on C4+1.
Fast-forward a couple of hours after a minor bit of head banging and I was done and had managed to whittle the JavaScript down to a mere 10 lines of code, which was very surprising. I then gave Google another search and instantly fell on to a piece on marcofolio.net that offer a solution for jQuery users.
Thankfully I’ve still been unable to find any current solution for Prototype JS which we use at humyo, so my efforts haven’t been that wasteful.
I plan on releasing this on GitHub shortly, but for now if you fancy playing with it you can swipe the markup from Pastie. Please note that you will need to include PrototypeJS before hand as i’ve been to lazy to update the demo to us something like Googles AJAX API.

Who fancies going to this at the O2 arena at the end of the month, it’s £55 each and sounds awesome. Will also be a great excuse to go see Mr Ray at the same time :)
