Dot Navigation Styles Today we'd like to share some subtle effects and styles for simple dot navigation with you. These styles could, for example, be used for a page scroll navigation or a thumbnail preview, in a vertical or horizontal fashion. View demo Download source Small UI elements usually don’t get too much attention when it comes to creative effects. They are often neglected because of their size. Note that some effects might not work as intended in some browsers (SVG transition, 3D transform-style).

CSS3 Grid Accordian using :target Information Click any of the above 'thumbnail' images to expand them to full size. Once expanded then the large image will stay visible even if clicking elsewhere on the page. Click the 'RESET' button to return the grid to its initial position.
