Debugging is hard sometimes

So my last post finished with me asserting, boldly, that there was a minor issues with projecting coordinates that was causing my fractals to come out warped. I went to bed thinking that there'd be no problem. I spent about 6 hours today writing and re-writing projection code because I thought for sure that that was the part of the code that was causing me problems.

I was wrong. It turns out that unlike a <div>, <canvas> tags do not like to have their dimensions set through CSS attributes. Rather, they are sized directly using HTML attributes. It's the difference between

<canvas id="fracMap" style="width:512px; height:512px;"></canvas>

and

<canvas id="fracMap" width="512" height="512"></canvas>

Switching from the first form to the second cleared up my problem. Sadly, this was the very last thing I tried (Obviously. You always find your keys in the last place you look, right?). In the meantime, though, I half-heartedly cleaned up all of the rest of the code. I haven't written this much code in a while, and it feels good. I will never love JavaScript, however. Google has done some pretty awesome things with such an eccentric language. Whenever I move to independent hosting, I'll upload what I have so far.
