A JavaScript Content Switcher That Works Without JavaScript | impressivewebs

Vel — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:24:04 +0000

Recently, while doing research/work on a completely unrelated topic, I came across the beautiful illustrations on Rype Arts, which are displayed inside of a JavaScript-driven content switcher. For some reason, I happened to visit the page with JavaScript disabled and noticed that the content switcher was still working (albeit, with a few flaws).

At first I couldn’t figure out how it was functioning. Normally, with JavaScript disabled, this type of content switcher (or content slider) will just display one item, or else display all items, without allowing any “switching” functionality. After some poking around, I realized it’s not a very difficult thing to do. The switcher utilizes in-page anchors and overflow: hidden to keep the switchability intact.

TinyScroller is a basic scrollable div script at only 1.7KB. It can be used with any HTML and degrades gracefully. The styling is completely customizable through the simple CSS. More features will be coming soon. I have redesigned leigeber.com and am going to be publishing a number of scripts and articles shortly. I will also be releasing my previous blog theme for free.

Ultimate IE6 Cheatsheet: How To Fix 25+ Internet Explorer 6 Bugs

Vel — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 10:34:00 +0000

“The best strategy for dealing with Internet Explorer 6 is not to support it.

Stop. Ok, I feel your frustration. You’re a web developer and you’re ready to tear your hair out because you have to support Internet Explorer 6, but, to put it tactfully, IE6 doesn’t support you. You’ve spent hours on it, but you just can’t seem to get your layout right. I can empathize. I can also help.

This isn’t one of those rants about IE6 or a campaign to try to kill it. There are enough of those around the web, but they don’t help if you need to support IE6 because it still has a significant enough marketshare that you can’t ignore it for business reasons. No, this is the resource you’ve been hoping for.” – via www.virtuosimedia.com
