(JavaScript) jQuery Fade In Sequence

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:57:08 GMT

I'm sure i can clean this up quite a bit, but it works for the moment. This function looks to see if you are on a selected page. If you are it hides the navigation, then loops through and shows each li one after the other. So they don't all fade in together. Needs a tidy i think.

Now you can set the defaults inside the function, which will be superseeded if they are passed as an argument.

(CSS) CSS Collapsible Margins Fix (margin-top)

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:18:01 GMT

A very annoying 'bug' can occur when you are applying a top margin to an element inside a container. The inner elements margin seems to "leak" out of the top of the container. This pushes the container down, and looks very messy if you have a background applied. Note: This is NOT and bug! Yay etc.. A quick fix is to add a padding of 1px, and a margin of -1px. Or you could add a border to the container.
