Just a quick post to show the finished page, im quite pleased with this one www.techspec.org.uk Andy

Yeah, im aware of the JS issue, i may try and think of a neat workaround.. In the end i went to the original source: http://digitarald.de/playground/tile.html and had a look at how he implemented the code, and after a good few hours of tinkering and head scratching eventually got something i liked! Cheers Andy

Finally got it working.. http://test.andy-coates.com/ts3/ Andy

mmmm...I didn't think i would be back here so soon but ive ran into problems already, I can only scroll down, and when i click a link to go up, it jumps to the top of the page. I did try adding the ease in ease out function, but i need to do allot of reading on java script . Ideally i am trying to acheive the same effect as on this (very nice) site: http://www.neftysworld.com/

Hi Rob, just re-jigged the code as you said and it works! Just going to try and figure how to play with the speed. Tahnks ever so much, its greatly appreciated. Andy

Anybody any good with Mootools? I'm trying to implement Scroll.fx at this sire im currently tearing my hair out with: test.andy-coates.com/ts2/ Have i got this right, I downloaded mootools fxlibrary javascript and linked to it on my index page. I then put his code in my head to specify the actions etc.. window.addEvent('domready', function() { $('toTop').addEvent('click', function() { FxScrollTest.toTop(); }); $('homeLink').addEvent('click', function() { FxScrollTest.toElement('homeLink'); }); }); then lined via this code>> <a href="#" onClick="FxScrollTest.toElement('homeLink'));">HomeLink</a> Now in theory, it should scroll from the bottom of the page up when the link is clicked, although it doest. I know virtually no Javascript so if anyone could point me in the general direction or point out a possible "schoolboy error" which i may have made it would be massively appreciated! Cheers Andy

Yeah, tried that but that div is only the content window so the tab will still link to the panel. Ive gave up in the end with spry panels and coded it with css. Problem is i got the old problem of Firefox & IE compatibility,shows up as expected with Firefox but got allsorts of trouble with IE here: test.andy-coates.com/ts2/ Andy

Ah, yes, it would help if i had put it in the correct ts folder on the server. Opps! Its there now!

Im currently designing a site using Adobes Spry tabbed Panels which is working well so far. The only problem is, is that i want to link to an external link from one of the tabs and Im not sure how to hack the code to do this. Currently each tab has it sown panel which is called via javascript (which i know very little!). If anyone who has any idea how to do this it would be greatley appreciated! Heres where the test site and files are. test.andy-coates.com/ts/ test.andy-coates.com/ts/SpryTabbedPanels.js test.andy-coates.com/ts/SpryTabbedPanels.js test.andy-coates.com/ts/index.txt (<-so you can view it!) Cheers Andy

Yeah, sorry I should have mentioned I was checking with IE6. Just had a look at conditional comments, thats a handy piece of scripting. Thanks fpr that. Andy

Just a quicke, does anyone know a way to fix a color in IE but have it displayed opaque in firefox. I'm playing around with SpryTabbedPanels here: test.andy-coates.com/ts/ Its a learning process but its beginning to look how I want when viewed in firefox, but looks "poo" in IE as it doesn't render opaque , i was wondering i i am able to set it to pure black for IE browsers but keep the original settings for when its viewed with firefox. Also IE wont dislpay the transparency in PNG's? and for the CSS: test.andy-coates.com/ts/SpryTabbedPanels.css test.andy-coates.com/ts/css/mainstyle.css

I've done a few Google searches but cant seem to find a working example, im looking to rotate a line of text 90 degrees c'clockwize and position it to the left of my page. Is this possible with css and can the is be accomplished across different browsers? All the best Andy Said site..... www.andy-coates.com/test

Woo hoo! After a good few hours playing arround i have gotten something which im happy with! Now that the framework is there i should have the other pages done in no time! Still some IE7 issues which i need to look at as the page still isnt displaning propperly for some reason! Cheers again for all the help! A

Once again, thanks very much for taking time to point me in the right direction! I think im slowly getting there, just gets a little frustrating at times! Andy

Thanks for all the replies ( and kind words ) Ive tried a few different things but i keep getting issues with different elements of the pushing other bits out of place. I could get them in the right place if i used the absolute position attribute, (i think!) though im using the Margin:0 auto; to keep things center to the page. Just have to keep tinkering away! A
