For those of you who have heard this question already.
If you were to go ahead and try to make a Navigation Bar what would be your first step. Would you use the Photoshop "Rollover" method? Or would you hand code it (so to speak).
Right now I have a Navigation Bar ready to export into Dreameaver cs5. I cannot seem to have the "hover" effect to, well, hover. I proceed to publish my entire site. My navigation bar is at the top of my web page but I still cannot seem to have any sort of link animation happening. When I go ahead and open a new html document and just throw it into the header it works fine with a blank html document. Why is it that my specific index.html document does not want to "have" my navigation bar or have it work correctly.
I know I'm going to be terribly scorned for my lack of knowledge even asking this question.
Please any help would be appreciated. It seems I cannot post any images yet..I would if I could.

Wondering how I can achieve the following effect on a website I'm building:
Div with 100vw width and 100vh height (we'll call this #container2) hides to the right of the home page (we'll call the home page #container1).
Moving mouse towards the right edge of the page causes #container2 to peek out.
If the user clicks on the visible portion of #container2, it slides all the way to the left, fully obscuring #container1.
The user is now on a new page with a corresponding URL, where they can scroll down and view more content.
I've got the first 3 steps more or less figured out. What I need help with is figuring out the best way to:
Handle the URL transition from site.com into site.com/newpage during the sliding animation
How to dynamically load the new page's content to the #container2 once the page transition happens, so the user can scroll down and see the new pages content if they click into it, but don't have to load the content if they choose to stay on the homepage.
Making it so if someone types or is linked directly to site.com/newpage, they will see the same thing that someone who started on the home page, clicked #container2, and watched the transition animation sees (but without showing a page transition).
I don't have any code snippets to show because I'm not really sure where to start. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. If possible, I'd like to use a vanilla javascript solution, as I've managed to make all the other features on the site run without JQuery. If JQuery is the only way to do this though, I'd still love to hear the solution.
There are a lot of ways you could do this. My intuition would be to have only one page that has different url fragments. Your question is fairly broad so my answer will also be broad.
One approach would be to use the target pseudo-class in css. All you need to do is make container2 a link that adds fragment to the end of the url that matches the classname of said container. You could have a some style for :hover that makes the container slide out and some settings for :target that brings the container to the center of the page. Container2 could have have a second section beneath the fold that contains the rest of the content for the page.
You could do something very similar with javascript by adding and removing classes from the various elements, but using the target pseudo class will help with your last bullet point. If a user goes directly to the link with the fragment, they will see the page with that container displayed.
I hope that gives you a place to start. Here is some info about the target pseudo-class.
I am having a weird problem and cannot even diagnose what is causing it. I am working on my professor's website: jurgec.net
The problem is only on the mobile website. If you click one of the links such as "I am an undergraduate student" then scroll down a little bit, and then press back, the website doesn't fully land at the top of the page. You can see a bit of the yellow page at the bottom.
I have a feeling its because each section's height depends on the browser's screen size. And since on mobile chrome, scrolling down causes the URL bar to disappear, it changes browser's height hence ruining the size of the website's sections.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
This is because the back button returns you to the previous "state" of the website you were at. If you scroll down it's going to go to that part where you were when you made the Click.
Does $(document).ready() functions fire after a back button press?? If they do (not sure at the moment) you could do something like this.
$(document).ready(function(){
scroll(0,0)
});
Which if that works shouldn't really affect you because on initial page load you are already at (0,0) so you wouldn't notice any jumping. Not sure if this would work for you, but good luck!
Me and the team have been a bit stumped on this so I'm hoping someone has come across this problem before.
I have a notification div that flies in depending on some event calls. The script I have seems to be working everywhere except one application where the images won't load. Both the icon css background image and the actual loading indicator won't show if the container is dynamically appended.
If i remove the initial display:none property the images load, but once the trigger is called they don't.
Unfortunately the application is on an internal network and I can't share a link, but I've included a screen shot and a jsfiddle to the code I'm using. (which in it's self is doing exactly what it's supposed to)
http://jsfiddle.net/FSshV/7/
It's a heavy js based app with some ASP.NET 2.0 here and there and some ajax calls bouncing around but doesn't seem to be giving any errors and i haven't been able to pinpoint the problem.
I know it's a long shot and not much to go on but maybe someone hit that wall before :)
I'm curious if anyone has seen a similar problem before and can share some insight?
PS: yes I've checked if the image paths are correct, and they are ^.^
I am currently designing a webpage that is extremely vertical, my idea was that users would not scroll around the page, but only when they clicked on links with internal anchors (href="#someDiv"), the page would automatically scroll down to that section.
So that the elements of the page are organized into bundles, and the user clicks to go up or down to one section of the single page or another.
I've uploaded the page to the following url:
DWS - Prototype
The page is fairly straightforward, and I am using a smooth-scroll jQuery plugin for the automatic scrolling. All I want is for the user to not be able to wander about on his/her own.
I have tried using overflow:hidden, and looked for javascript or jQuery to get this done, but can't seem to find a viable solution. Overflow hidden prevents the page from loading past the screen, so you can't link to the other elements of the page.
I haven't really tested the HTML/CSS beyond Mac OS, but it works fine on Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
You can disable the scroll bar on a page using the following css property
body{overflow: hidden;}
This will disable both the scroll bar and the mousewheel (im not sure about Pg Up and Down Buttons)
While you definitely have an interesting concept I think it will be very hard to pull off the way you're wanting. What happens if I have the height of my browser window set so small that I can't see your Navigation menus and I also can't scroll? Chances are I'm just gonna get fed up with your site and leave.
When users see a vertical scrollbar they expect to be able to scroll up and down. Taking that way from users is more likely to frustrate and anger them as opposed to them thinking 'This is really cool'.
That being said you could load up jQuery and do something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('html, body').scroll(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
});
This should prevent the scrollbar from going up or down. disclaimer: I have not tested this.
I suggest you make the sections (partially) collapsible. E.g. like here.
Very cool JS components: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40664031/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/
Check out the icons next to the vertical scrollbar in your browser, and the expanding 'sharing' toolbar at the bottom.
Does anybody know if these are publicly available components? Has anybody seen these before?
Edit: I'm talking about:
The way the sections in the bottom bar expand into tabs to show more controls. Try clicking on "Login and settings", for example.
The way the links near the scrollbar take you to the respective sections. Very cool tool to aid user discovery in a long page.
I was intrigued by the scroll markers used for jumping around the page so I made a start at replicating the functionality in a plugin:
https://github.com/sj26/jquery.scrollmarkers
It's definitely not pretty yet, but it's a start.
Its a private library built by Krux Digital, Inc.
I dug into the source of http://cdn.krxd.net/krux.js
Its ajax tabs..
Also, you can have a bar fixed at bottom of page simply by using
position:fixed
property in css, then in the div at bottom, impliment jQuery.tabs, and for each tab load data via ajax. Wont be that difficult. and if MSN has implemented it, they would have surely spent a lot of time on it
