user4fun Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I am putting together a basic website and I want to do the following.1) Transition drop down tables that shows up when the user highlights the links2) Tables with colors with some transparency to show the background image3) When certain cells of the table are highlighted, the background color will transition to a different color.I know all these can be done with html and JavaScript, but they will not have the "smooth” transition that makes it look so much better. I really don’t want to pay $1,799.00 for flash just to use 5% of its capabilitiesWhat can I do this with??? other than flash, anything else cheaper??

Synook Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I know all these can be done with html and JavaScript, but they will not have the "smooth” transition that makes it look so much better.What makes you think it won't be smooth? Have you looked at the effects available with the latest JavaScript libraries?http://api.jquery.com/category/effects/http://jqueryui.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescientist Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 what about the transparency part, will I be able to do that as well???images, CSS3, and certain browsers have proprietary functionality for handling transparency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirehopper Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 1. For a simple page, dojo may be more overkill, you can do this fairly simply with javascripthttp://docs.dojocampus.org/dijit/layout/TabContainer2. Transparencyhttp://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_image_transparency.asp3. Not sure if this is right, but you could use onclick/onhover or pseudo classeshttp://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synook Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Adobe Flex? Or are you thinking of more of something like JavaFX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
