Thank you Colleen for your reply. It's too bad you aren't able to give me any more information on this than I could get off of Google.

Over the past week or so I have been mercilessly assaulting Google with an arsenal of keywords in effort to locate those tutorials.

It is true this could be done in a variety of ways, i.e. Javascript, Flash, CSS and JQuery

So far, and unfortunately, the only 'feature content slideshow nav bars' ive found are ... *ahem* ... wordpress plugins.

Other varieties have included, simple navigation bars ( horizontal and vertical ), simple photo galleries ( with left and right arrows ), a few sub menu how to's.. and many other 'almost but not quite what i want' posts on websites featuring their how-to's in the very navigation frame i want to learn how to make as opposed to being about how to make one.

sigh.

I'll keep looking.

Kathleen Elizabeth Smith replied on May 05, 2009 12:37 to the question "Preloading images with css?" in Six Apart:

Usually, when creating CSS rollovers, people use 3 or more different images for each state.

eg:







Alternatively, you can create one image with all three states of a button.



Typically your CSS for rollovers looks like this:

/* MENU THING */

#menu a {
...
background: url("thing.gif") top left no-repeat;
}
#menu a:hover {
...
background-image: url("thing-one.gif");
}
#menu a:active {
...
background-image: url("thing-two.gif");
}

/* MORE THINGS */

However, if you use one image with all three (or more) button states, you can just change its background position instead with the a-items using display:block.

In this example, the states could be 125px to the left for :hover or 325px for :active.

/* THING */

#menu a {
background: url("thing.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;
...
}
#menu a:hover {
background-position: -125px 0;
...
}
#menu a:active {
background-position: -325px 0;
...
}

This procedure allows switching states on rollover to be as quick as possible.

I'm not entirely sure if this helps but good luck!

I'm currently working on a gallery in advanced templates and searching for some creative ways to make it look interesting.

There are lots of cool ideas to improve upon already awesome features existing in typepad and hopefully this could one day become: point, click, create!

(perhaps with some style choices too)

I also had the same issue, unfortunately it didn't occur to me to take a snapshot. Though i couldn't resolve this with code, I could in photoshop.

I decided to make a footer which "appears" smaller than the container. Since my main container background color is white, the white background of my footer image hides the fact its a smidge offcenter ( approx. 2 or 3 pixels off ) and the blue container layer i created inside my footer image needed to be offcenter in the image to "appear" centered on my site.



It took me about 4 photoshop edits and re-posts to get it right.

Im still, however, very interested in learning how this would be corrected in code, in the event i decide to make a footer more uniform with my header.

:)

Oops, your right, it was the weekend! My Apologies! I spend much of my time curled up on the sofa with a blanket and a laptop, the days have begun to bluuur..

Back on topic, I am looking forward to see what you can find out. I'm still searching on my own and have only yet come up with how to make one or the other ( nav bar or gallery ) but not the code that links the two together and synchronizes the image rotation.. if that makes sense.

still so confused. – Kathleen Elizabeth Smith, on May 05, 2009 04:16
