Guillermo Rauch’s Blog » CSS+Javascript power. Fancy menu
Let me introduce you to Fancy Menu: When it comes to creating the navigation part of your Website, the first thing you might think of is an unordered list that you style as tabs. Lately, such navbars are everywhere, as many people believe they’ll make their site more Web 2.0-compatible. Personally, I just think they’re semantically better and accessible. In this article I’ll go through the creation of a custom navigation bar with some cute Javascript effects that will certainly impress your friends. Thanks to the great Mootools library, this beauty is contained in 1.5kb. Introduction Every time that I know I’m going to use Javascript to alter the behavior or look of something, I try to come up with a simple markup, and make sure it renders perfectly with Javascript turned off. For this menu, as we’ll be having a movable element that acts as the background, we should first make sure that just by using css, we can freely move it and that it won’t affect the display of the menu. Mark it up

Colophon All photos were taken with a trusty Canon DigitalElph in New York, October 2007. » Using CSS and GIF’s to animate a menu - Web Design Marketing P Remember our good old friend the animated gif? There was a time when the ability to animate GIF’s made web sites a little more fun… or horribly obnoxious. It seems that no one really harnessed the power of animated GIFs, and today the only place they seem to be used are in banner advertisements when flash isn’t available. GIFs can still be a very powerful tool, and the fact that they have been long forgotten gives me an opportunity to brainstorm what you can do with them. One of the more powerful capabilities of CSS is the use of the :hover pseudo selector. It is one of the only abilities we have to alter the behavior of a website simply through XHML and CSS (and there is a debate if this even should be done, but this is more about capabilities rather than theoretical debates of what should/shouldn’t be done). Because IE6 has shoddy :hover support on non anchor elements, the most logical place to use this combination of :hover and animated GIFs will be in a menu item. The Plan

Moo Image gallery hey all! i needed a quick gallery solution for dropping images of my new niece up, and i didn't like pixel post. too much work. i whipped this up in about 2 hours. it uses prototype, moo.fx and some rudimentary php. it needs the gd extension for php, and write permissions on the folder with the pictures. to use, you just drop your pictures into the 'pictures' directory. resizing happens on the fly (if a picture needs it). you can futz with the settings in image_canvas.js and config.php. only works for .JPG right now, and is currently set for 3x2 picture aspect ratio, because that's what my camera (rebel xti) does. i'm pretty sure you can fix that with some judicious editing of the config parameters in the two above named files. if you do end up borrowing this code, please drop me a line at asad.sheth@gmail.com and let me know!

Mootools, du renouveau dans le Javascript Pourquoi une n-ième librairie Javascript ? Mootools est le digne successeur de Moo.FX, petite libraire de 3 Ko seulement (une plume comparé à la lourdeur, relative, de scriptaculous). C'est dans l'optique de légèreté que Mootools a été développée. Du code tout en finesse, fonctionnement rapide, intuitivité et surtout légèreté. Ca sert à quoi ? Si vous avez déjà taté du Javascript, vous savez comment il peut être pénible de gérer certains cas, d'un navigateur à l'autre. Mootools converti tout en objet, avec des fonctions qui simplifieront la syntaxe. Par exemple, en javascript traditionnel, pour accéder à un DIV nommé "mydiv", la syntaxe est : var ma_variable = document.getElementById('mydiv); avec Mootools : var ma_variable = $('mydiv'); C'est non seulement plus court, mais aussi plus puissant. $('mydiv').setStyle('width','100px'); Pour plusieurs d'un coup : Quelques exemples Redimensionnement, clignotement Code : Opacité, Opacité ET hauteur Réorganisation de listes Autre chose ?
