Topic awaiting preservation: Limitations ?!?

Hey guys..

I've been looking through this forum, a lot of nice things are taken up for discussion here, the forum is active and all.
BUT i haven't seen anyone code in the way I've just done, and I have a lot of probs, coding that way.
What my point or question really is, is if anyone knows that way of coding and what limitations it has
I've made a little shaker code, kindly borrowed the idea from Doc himself :P

--------------------- --------------------- ---------------------

Main = {
DoIt: function()
{
setTimeout('boobie.style.top = (((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2))-5)',30)
setTimeout('boobie.style.top = (((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2))+5)',60)
setTimeout('boobie.style.top = (((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2))-5)',90)
setTimeout('boobie.style.top = (((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2))+5)',120)
setTimeout('boobie.style.top = (((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2))-5)',150)
setTimeout('boobie.style.top = (((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2))+5)',180)
setTimeout('boobie.style.top = (((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2)))',210)
},
init: function()
{
girl.style.left = ((document.body.clientWidth/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.width)/2))
boobie.style.left = ((document.body.clientWidth/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.width)/2))
girl.style.top = ((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2))
boobie.style.top = ((document.body.clientHeight/2)-(parseFloat(girl.style.height)/2))
}
}

What question are you asking exactly?

If your asking if the code you posted is a *good* way to code, I'd say no.

It's overly redundant, atempts to create a seemingly non-linear effect through linera code and it's hard coded to only work in a handfull of web browsers.

That effect, as horribly annoying as it is, could be done is about 5 lines of code and be used in any web browser and with any absolutly positioned element.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

That's the answer I needed

Heeh, I don't use that way normally, just tried it out yesterday and just wanted to know if it's a good way or not.
Obviously it's not

Does giving variables names like that make programming more exciting ?

Well, on the upside it could be some amusing code to watch - assuming the code relates to the content of course!
