Hey all,
I've got a small piece of code that I want to get working just for a backend menuing/interface system.

It is a simple process. I stole the code from isohunt.com for the menus (when you search and click on a result, a dropdown menu appears). Basically I need a super simple (I imagine) script that will allow me to:

-have 2 'dropdown menus': menuA and menuB
-create a variable in menuA
-upon clicking a button in menuA, close the menuA drop down, open the menuB dropdown, and pass the variable via POST (or some means - javascript?) to menuB (ideally without having to refresh the page)


The isohunt script operates mostly off of javascript and displaying a CSS-hidden table row (<tr>) via the javascript function. This table row is composed of a table with an iframe as its only content.

Suuuuper simple. I just dont want to learn Javascript and AJAX to do all that. Ill throw out $20 for it (an hour of work at a solid hourly rate, no?) and Ill even include PayPal fees so you get all $20! :D

Any takers? PM me.

Okay, the boobies icon is getting abused lately. Boobies are to remain in the StS and NFSD sections ONLY. We've been really lenient on this as of late, but it needs to stop. Some people may be viewing WF at work.

I've edited your post to make it safe for work.

Sorry Mike! I thought the boobs icon was indicative of the post being NSFW.


audax, the job is less than an hour worth of work though. If you can do it, PM me and we can work something out.
 
Curious, how did you conclude that it would be 1 hour of work if you haven't done it before ?

And just to second the other poster, $20 is about 1/3 of the cost a coder fulltime and its even further off freelance.

Try rent-a-coder ?
 
Nah I dont want to deal with those remote Indians who cant speaka engalish.

Im guessing it is going to be one hour of work because its a simple ass task. I just dont want to learn the ins and outs of javascript and AJAX since I dont already know any of it and the task I want to get done is rather easy.

But with all the useless responses so far it looks like I should just do it myself...

krazyjosh5 is correct its only max an hour job, shit I took not even 20 minutes this morning to do up a couple examples for him. I've seen this guy program before and he has decent knowledge of what he is doing and his time frames are pretty much always dead on.

When you get into programming and begin to know your shit even if you haven't taken on a project before you can still make estimates on the time required to pull the job off.

It comes with hands on expertise.

Interesting, it has been my experience that when the the person with the Job estimates how long something will take they are generally full of shit.

That's more likely how long they would *like* it to take and it's almost always shorter and cheaper than it should be, which is fine, but there is a difference.

Krazy being a coder obviously would help with the estimates, although apparently he had no concept of what a real coder actually earns ;)

I'll be honest though, I've yet to see a programming job for anything take an hour, I don't just mean writing the code, inevitably there are integration issues with the site or tweaks, writing the actual code is the trivial part.
 
So...WTF?

Let those who want to take it on for the price do it, everyone else just STFU, already.

In this situation, you are 100% wrong. This guy programs, and doesnt feel like learning the details. If you know the details, it will take you LESS than an hours. Geez, WTF, are you people idiots?!? If you dont want the job, then STFU, otherwise, speak up, and I might want to use you too...sheesh.

S.
 
Yeah, I already said that in my last post. I was actually serious when I asked the question on how he came up with the estimate, he answered satisfactorily and it's no big deal.

Now I personally wouldn't take a shit for $20 let alone code anything, but, still, fair play that some folks would/might.
