littlelee Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hi everyone,I'm new to web building and to this forum so I apologise in advance...I am trying to build a web page that is static apart form the content section. For example, lets say I have 'press' 'video' 'biog' along the top navigation section, I would like the content to change when navigation text is clicked, preferably with a pulse/fade transition effect, but I don't want the whole page to reloadI can find sites that talk abut spry, javascript and flash being capable of doing this but I would really like some advice on which option you would consider the most effective and cross browser compatible.Any advice or tips would be appreciated..I've adapted javascript before but not used flash or spry...(this may be a bit ambitious for a beginner but if I don't try I'll never know!!)Many thanksLittlelee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Spry is just a Javascript library. It's probably better to use Javascript instead of Flash because Flash will require a plugin and Javascript is natively supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApocalypeX Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Pick Javascript, every browser supports it while flash must be downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 You can add an onclick event to any element. If your text is inside a span or div element, then you can add an onclick event to that element. I'm not sure about the Spry errors, I haven't used Spry before. As far as I'm aware, in general Flash content does not get indexed by search engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
