A jQuery powered HTML5 navigation menu
I was recently asked to knock-up a semantically simple (but elegant) navigation bar for a new open-source project I’ve become involved with (more on that soon!). Having done so with a reasonable amount of success, I thought I would also share it here for everyone else to use as well!
A set of simple CSS3 buttons
Having searched around for a while, looking for a set of CSS3 ‘buttons’ and not finding anything exactly right for my needs, I decided to create a set from scratch. Being the generous kind of bloke I am, I though that I’d share them here in case any other frustrated web workers are in desperate need of a button fix.
A simple jQuery powered image slider
This is another quick implementation of one of Orman Clark’s designs from Premium Pixels. As with the last previous slider I shared, this is based on malsup’s awesome Cycle jQuery plugin.
Why the ‘outline’ CSS property is so important
There are a lot of designers and developers who (for whatever reason) choose to remove any styling from the outline property that highlights focused anchors. This is a short post about why you shouldn’t do it, or if you really need to; how you can make it look a little better than browser default outlines.
Simple and Minimalist Nav Bar (+ extra CSS3!)
Inspired by having a little free time, and the fun I had doing it yesterday; here is another implementation of one of Orman Clark’s designs, his ‘Clean and Simple Navigation Menu’. As you will see however, I made a couple of small changes: most noticeably to the font (due to browsers not rendering Helvetica Neue Bold nearly as well as Photoshop); and removing a couple drop shadows (just because I thought it looked a little better this way).
