Background Image on Table Rows Repeating

As per the conditions of my parole, I thought I’d write my quarterly Web-based blog post on something I found the other day. I was working on a tables(don’t cringe or vomit, they can be done properly and be used properly) and to make it look nice, there was a background image on the header. [...]


Web Directions South 2008

Having just finalised my accommodation at a pub and Web Directions Workshop, I can sit back and tilt my chair. Last year I went to Web Directions in Sydney, as a guy whose skill set is somewhat limited I was stunned by the amount of awesome presentations and the passion of the attendees.
Without getting too [...]


Cubescape - Pew Pew

Every now and then something makes me tilt my chair backwards and clap my hands in childish glee. Well, okay, it’s pretty damn often, but today I was shown (via Twitter) a Man in Blue experiment called Cubescape. Its an amazing experiment and the animation looks very cool. Not only is it an epic [...]


jQuery Slide in without Interface

Okay, my first jQuery example was very noob, and anyone that might know what they were doing(or paid more attention than I did) might have noticed there was an infinite amount of JS errors on the slide. I have no idea why. I was working on a submenu sliding in from the left. I tried [...]


My First Simple JQuery Example

Okay, I have been playing with jquery for, oh I dont know, half a day now. I barely consider myself to be of beginner status, but I thought I would post what I have done. In keeping with my video game-themed tutorials, have a look at my latest offering. It is unbelievably simple but hey, [...]


Flexible/Fluid CMS CSS Nav Menus

Okay, let’s do a hypothetical. Say your client signs off on a design and ticks the ‘gimme a cms’ box. You take a look at the design and see a rollover state and and active state that involve rounded corners. Okay, no problems yet. Then the designer says ‘oh and I made the menu plain [...]


Feigning Curved Navs Using CSS

First off, heres a little thinking music, the latest sample from Axe In The Head entitled - Bray. Now, on with the CSS.
The first time I made a curved css nav I was pretty confused(having assumed it was going to be done in flash). Not really knowing how to go about doing it, I [...]


The Al Stoiche Website Redesign and Variety Hour - First Thoughts

Its about that time again where I go on a frequent blogging….. fit…. of sorts. I have decided to redo the design and layout for this blog and I thought I would post here on each phase in the development. I think I have learned a bit more than when I had done the first [...]


jQuery but not really…

Bando Ben has been trying to get me into jquery lately. Ive kind of given in and started looking into it. My first impression was that it could make windows, slide things and drag and drop. Although most people might find this useful, I couldn’t think of a good use for it. There are obviously [...]


CSS Rollover and Popup Using Examples

I was pointed towards this site a few weeks ago in an effort to figure out a way to do the menu on this site. I think the end result worked out well, so I thought I would show how it works(in case you didn’t want to read the first link).
First of all, credit where [...]
