Jatecblog » Links for Making Your First Web Site Without Paying a Dime Conditionally Sticky Sidebar If you use pretty much any browser except IE 6 (more on that later) when you visit this site, you've probably noticed that the dark-grey sidebar scrolls with you just until the banner and menu are off the page, and then locks itself into position or "sticks". When you scroll back to the top, if the menu and/or banner need to be seen again, the sidebar politely resumes its normal scrolling duties. Go ahead, try it now, I'll wait. Fun isn't it? I've had a number of people comment on that, so I thought I would outline how I accomplished it. First of all, I'm not the first person to implement a "sticky" or "fixed" feature on my site, but I am the only one I know of that makes a sidebar (or any part of my site) sticky based on scrolling conditions (if you know of any other, please leave a comment for me). Now you just need a long scrolling page and ta-da, you're done. window.onscroll = function () { // do something } Great! So now we've got parts 1 and 2 solved. A few more notes on that.

cssplay 28th November 2009 Absolutely NO javascript, just HTML and CSS Winter branches Followed by some descriptive text and maybe a link. Wading birds Another piece of descriptive text and again a link. Bird on a post Yet more descriptive text and maybe a link. Early bloomers And another line of descriptive text and maybe a link. Green lizard With descriptive text and maybe a link. Feeding the birds A description of the picture can go here with a link. A group of butterflies Descriptive text and maybe a link. Ladybirds The text can be over as many lines as you want, but you may need to adjust the size of the containing div to make sure that it can all be seen. Butterfly Trees in the mist Another piece of descriptive text and maybe a link. copyright © stu nicholls - CSS play Information Probably the last in this series of photo galleries where the clicked image will stay on screen no matter what else you do. It would be nice if Opera could get this working in their next release especially as IE5.5 can manage it.

DesignTips+Freebies+Inspiration What makes a web-designer a great web-designer? Guts and information – and bit of talent. All designers have to defeat the same monsters. Inspiration blocks;Lack of material, like and unvectorized logo;Poor quality images or their non-existence;Low or no budget;Unhelpful clients; May I continue? Well the good news is that you just need courage to persist and the light of information to scare those monsters away. You got the courage. Here I’ll give the info that could take you ages to find by yourself or another designer to tell (maybe because of lack of time or selfishness). Images It is 3 AM; you are pretty tired, your stomach can’t bear another dose of caffeine and you still need that Pretty Business type picture to use in your project, but you don’t have the budget to afford a stock image from gettyimage. Now you will spend until 4AM trying to decide which photo to use. www.sxc.hu More great sites : flickr.com/creativecommons/ commons.wikimedia.org Wikimedia imagesearch in 64 categories. Fonts

YAML Builder | A tool for visual layout development of YAML based CSS layouts Diseño web: usuarios, contenidos y experiencias La idea sobre diseño web ha ido cambiando estos últimos años. Hace unos años, las restricciones y dificultades técnicas eran tan elevadas que gran parte del esfuerzo se ponía en la tecnología. Existían también limitaciones esenciales en el marco conceptual. Podríamos resumir una página web era que “funcionase”. Una década después, ese objetivo, sin ser más sencillo, se asume como logrado. Y sobre función comunicativa y estándares… tenemos ya al nuestro alcance mucha literatura. El usuario, el protagonista La aparición de la web 2.0, la llamada web social, donde el usuario es el protagonista ha sido quizás el factor más novedoso y de ineludible referencia en el momento en que decidimos comunicar un mensaje en esta vasta red que nos tiene atrapados. La función comunicativa centrada en el usuario, en sus emociones y en sus experiencias pasa, pues, a ser prioridad absoluta en nuestro planteamiento de diseño. ¿Por dónde empezar? Lo primero que debemos hacer es pensar y hacer pensar.
