Sidebar Slider
December 3rd, 2005
Ars Aranea
Quite the nifty plugin, uses DHTML (isn’t that the old school term for AJAX?) to keep your short sidebar in the screen while visitors scroll down through long lists of posts. Especially useful to blogs that keep the sidebar tidy, but post full content or long posts. Extensive directions and explanations on the site, and assumedly bundled with the plugin as well. Author’s site contains a working example of plugin (note, you have to scroll, I couldn’t grab the vertical scroll bar and slide fast and see the sidebar). Very nifty plugin, to say the least.
Thanks for the plug.
Doesn’t appear at all efficient on that demo page which immediately gave me reservations about it. Very draggie and not sharp or smooth scrolling at all. At least in IE, dunno, maybe OPERA sees it better. FireFox i couldn’t care less about, another IE clone if you ask me.
OPERA Rocks!! and Ownz
