  • This is why CSS is so staggeringly cool. Any element can have a background, elements can be stacked on top of each other, positioned wherever you want them on the page, total control and flexibility without any clunky hacks and scripts. Beautiful.

    Moreover, though this page combines the style into the source for the page itself for teaching purposes (presumably), you can keep the style in a different file and change the layout of the whole site by changing only one file. CSS rocks.

  • The redraw on that text is awful in Firefox 1.0pr.

    It's fascinating, but highly impractical.

    • Yeah... really neat idea, but I would not spend much time reading a site like that. If I wanted my browser to be that slow, I'd go back to Netscape 4.7...
    • Something is buggy in the FireFox code that renders that page. IE (yeah, I know) doesn't have that problem.

      Anyone have a copy of Opera they can try out to see how it does?

  • If we can make the area that scrolls dependent on where the mouse is at, I'll be REALLY impressed, and ready to redesign an interface I made with frames ages ago.
    • What do you mean by "dependent on where the mouse is at"? When I scroll, I just use the scroll bar or the arrow keys.

      1 thing that I didn't like about the design is the fact that it doesn't work well with different screen sizes. That being said, I must say that that is a clever use of images. I had to think about it before I realized that he probably wasn't using transparent images. Well, at least, I no longer assume that he is.
      • I realized after posting that that I was probably unclear.

        I wrote an equipment reservation tool that (essentially; it's actually a little more complex) splits the browser area into 4 frames, not quite quadrants. The top two are small things that never need to scroll. The bottom two always do; bottom left is the list of equipment and bottom right is the details about that equipment, when it's reeserved and by whom, etc.

        If I could scroll those two different areas independantly without using frames, it'd be

        • If I could scroll those two different areas independantly without using frames, it'd be a very nice thing. Yes, I'm sure I could do it with javascript etc. but I'm just saying if it was as clean as the parent link....

          Do you know how to do that with CSS? With CSS, you just make the box size smaller, and tell it to enable scroll bars. If you can't figure it out, I could write up an example and post it for you.

          I remember trying to make something like that. It worked fairly well. Each box would be 1 chapter in
