I'm scheduled for a technical interview after the weekend for a front-end development position. I'd like to spend some intensive time beforehand reading relevant blogs and books to prime the ol' noodle and supplement my existing knowledge. Could you recommend some resources? Are there questions you would ask an applicant in this situation, or that you have been asked?

Javascript question: I have a rectangular div. Imagine that div is divided from one corner to the other to make two right triangles. I would like to, on hover, have Javascript tell me which triangle my mouse is over. But my trigonometry powers are failing me, and Google is coming up short. Hope me, admin!

I posted this question a few months back but would like to... ask again with a little more details. I bit the bullet and signed up for classes again, and after my first half day back, I'm now at home having a panic attack regarding my decision. I'm a historic preservation graduate student, and after a whole year of freaking out about what I want in life, all I really want is a job that pays well, or an incredibly marketable skill. I doubt I will get either with this degree.

Is there a way to enable Facebook Comments Box for mobile viewing in Google Blogger?
I used these
instructions to enable Facebook comments on my blog. It worked out, but it's not showing up in the mobile view.
This
site discusses how to add a widget to the Blogger Mobile Template. The Facebook Comments Box is not exactly a widget. I imagine there's probably a solution to getting it to appear in the mobile view, similiar to
this, but I don't know how to do it. Is there a way to add something like this (mobile='yes') to the plugin code?

CSS/Javascript filter: I have a website that is one long page, broken into sections. It includes a side menu; if you click on one of the links in the side menu, it automatically scrolls to that section. How can I set it up so that whichever section is on-screen automatically highlights the side-menu section?

What IDEs, editors, or general tools do people use to do web development? I'm a linux geek, so my tool of choice is gVim. But I'm teaching a course on this right now and don't want to inflict my prejudices on the students, and I'd like a broader perspective. So if you're a web developer, what do you use? NetBeans, Notepad? Something in-between?

Bottom line: My company's web portal has a top frame that I can control, and a bottom frame controlled by Web IT. Can I add an event listener to the top frame that will watch the bottom frame and excecute when it's done loading?

Two webcoding questions:
1) What is the web coding name for hiding/revealing text without reloading a page? For instance,
on this page you can see "Continue Reading" and "Hide this News Article" as
toggles. They appear to be doing it with javascript. What is this
called and are there simple free coding samples available for me to
use? 2) Are there any free plugins that I can use on a blog to play
audio samples? Something similar to what's used in MuFi or Wordpress's
audio streamer, but without needing Wordpress. Thanks!
