Posted on entry The modern office: technological boneyard and slough of despond ::: July 07, 2008, 12:05 AM:
One could certainly read the consumerisation of IT against the way that IT helps to extend the workplace into domestic spaces for an increasingly large percentage of the workforce.

I'm not sure if these two trends are in tension or mutually reinforcing.

Lee@130 -- I'm not sure even that's a great reason to ban photography. If you've got enough cash to be out and about scouting for products to photographically steal and mass-market, you've certainly got enough cash to buy an item, take it to a hotel room, and photograph the crap out of it for even more flawless duplication later.

OK, just seen Patrick's second post. Sorry. I'll take a look.

Hmm.. the existing javascript file has this: function setCookie (name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {

and the ALA style-switcher has this: function createCookie(name,value,days) {

Even if those variables were changed, I'm guessing that at some level both functions are trying to work with the same cookie. On ther other hand I'm a CSS/XHTML guy, and not so much a JS coder.

If you remove the existing JS and try the style-switcher, what happens? And what's in your alternate stylesheet?

It's possible that the javascript already resident on the page is interfering with the ALA switcher script; most style-sheet switchers rely on setting cookies, so there may be a variable name clash.

I'll have a dig around for a good drop-in switcher js file.
