I just wanted to keep it as simple as possible and I don't expect that they'd be needed very much. Based on a career of traditional programming, I believe my application is extremely simple, compared to most (it's data entry). Most of what I've learned is self taught, plus the internet. But a lot of what's on the internet doesn't explain things within a global context, so you have to do more research anyway. I guess I feel that I'd rather spend my time developing than learning a couple more libraries.
Thanks Chris. I'll see what I can accomplish with what you've given me. If I want to try Bootstrap/jQuery, can you give me a brief description of how I would use them in my situation. Can you load just the parts of the libraries that you're going to use or do you have to load the whole thing?
Thanks very much. I'll give it a try.
Now I have to see how I can merge it with what I've already done. Is there a way to use the CSS file that I've already written with the Bootstrap CSS file? Can I use this method with just the modals that I've got, or do I have to change my whole application?
Out of interest, is there a reason why you want to avoid the libraries such as Bootstrap / jQuery. There's nothing wrong with that, but you're going to spend way longer writing you code. You'll basically be writing a lot of Javascript and CSS just to re-invent the wheel.
