Today, I had a need to create a hover state for a button. I knew how to do that easily if it were an image. I could just use the onMouseOver attribute and insert a little javascript to swap out the image on hover.
That doesn’t work for input field.
I thought about using javascript, but that feels like an overkill and whenever possible, I try to avoid writing script.
Then I came across the following tutorial on applying a sprite technique to the input field.
It’s a really easy to follow tutorial. I got it working in less than 30 minutes. If you want to learn about this technique, you should give this one a try.
As part of the prototype that I’m building, I need a js to hide and show a layer.

Today I spent the whole day preparing sample works to apply for a UX position at a well-known financial company.
It was a very agonizing process.
They want to see some formal documents that show my process and how I solve UX problems, mainly from the interaction design perspective.
I know how to do wireframes, site architecture, user flow, etc., and have been doing that but I don’t have anything in the form of a formal documentation. I did most of these on paper because it’s the fastest way for me. We had a very small team, so we had to move from one project to another quickly. In other words: just get stuff done. In many cases, I collaborate with front end developers in real time as they implement the design.
This sounds like an excuse, though.
Note to self: going forward, I need to make sure I keep the artifacts used in the design process and make time to create proper formal documentation.
