Spankin Tabbed Navigation

2004.10.30.16.44 · 12 comments

Tabs

I think I’m close to a wrap, I really like the outcome of this upgrade. The tabbed navigation at the top is spankin cool and things are finally fitting in place. I’m still not happy with the note paper thingy for the internal links, it looks kind of stupid. The gallery is still in the works too. Can’t wait for WP 1.3 to be released, but I hope I won’t have to make massive code edits again.

Ok that’s all for today, it’s weekend and I need a drink! :-P

Thanks Jash!! :) WP is the software I use for the blog, and the note paper thingy is where you see the category links, the archives and the buttons.

Wow! It looks great! I agree with you about the note paper. It doesn’t quite fit with the style of the site. You might try just trimming it down to the black bar.

the tabs look nice, but a little more 3d effect or a bigger role over could help

Yeah I gotta get rid of that bugger, I still haven’t come up with any ideas though. I’m happy with the tabs, so I’m not changing them! :-P This is all CSS. No fancy roll-overs unless I wanna deal with more coding and future bandwidth issues. Thanks guys! :D

Are your ‘blog’ links listed in order of updating or specified by you?

It’s produced at random, the order changes on each visit to the page.

I like the tabs, but I like the comment boxes better. They have that 3dish look.

you know you can do roll overs with just css with something like;

a{ width: 40px; height: 13px; background: inherit url(image1.gif);}
a:hover{background: inherit url(image12.gif);}

(incase you didn’t know that.)

Yeah I’ve tried that before [http://digitalsurgery.net] but the image won’t preload so it comes out kinda jerky. I’m sure there’s a way around it but I haven’t looked into it much yet. Thanks for the idea tho! :D
