What's New (page 6 of 7)

March 6th, 2002- Updates updates...

What's more fun than rewriting a few lines of code and calling it a day's work? That's what we've been doing (except it turned it to be many many lines) the past few days, with the following three scripts:

1) Top Navigational Bar I- The first menu script that spawned the series, we've revitalized this script for NS6/Opera 6 compatibility, and a sleeker interface.
2) Smart folding menu tree- Once again, this script is now also compatible in NS6
3) Fancy cursor script- You know the drill. Notice the new code for defining a "hand" cursor.

Pop-it menu Credits: Dynamic Drive
Pop-it allows you to associate a dynamic menu with regular links on your page. As the mouse moves over the link in question, a menu pops up containing "sub links". Think of it as a "loose" drop down menu.

3D starfield Credits: Mikhail Ansolis
Take your webpage into the stars with this 3D starfield script! The stars travel towards you in an incessant manner.

"Accept terms" form submission Credits: Dynamic Drive
Does your form contain an "Accept terms" section users must agree to before submitting the form? If so, this script helps enforce it, by disabling the submit button until he/she checks a box indicating compliance.

Open offsite links in new window Credits: Jessica Hammer
Concerned about people leaving your site when navigating to offsite links? A derivative of the script Open links in new window, this one targets only links not of your domain to open in a new window. Links that belong to your own domain (the domain which you specify inside the script) will not be affected.

Drop-in image slideshow Credits: Dynamic Drive
We got our idea for this script from an applet on the web. Instead of simply rotating and displaying images, this image slideshow glides each one into view from the very top. A classic applet- and now DHTML- effect!

Drop-in image slideshow II (hyperlinked) Credits: Dynamic Drive
Version II of the original, slimmer Drop-in slideshow above, this one hyperlinks each image, so you can associate a unique URL with each slide.

HV Menu All Credits: Ger Versluis
Ger's popular HV menu script has just been updated from version 5.0 to version 5.41. Noteworthy changes include the ability to statically position menu.

Bottom slide tooltip Credits: Ron Grafe
This bottom slide-in box can be used as an "aid" or "tooltip" for your page elements. Move your mouse over the element in question, and a description will slide in from the bottom of the browser.

Kissing trail Credits: Dig8 Valentines is soon approaching. Spread the love on your site with this kissing trail script! It plants big kisses behind your mouse as it moves, each disappearing only after a noticeable delay. Quite impressive.

IFRAME ticker Credits: Dynamic Drive
This script is similar to the below "IFRAME scroller", except the messages are rotated and displayed one at a time. Created by user request.

Custom cursor script Credits: Dynamic Drive
Starting in IE6, for the first time ever, you can specify your own image for the browser to use as the cursor! The image will replace the default "arrow" one.

Drop down menu generator Credits: Dynamic Drive
This is a cross-browser drop down menu script. Click on a text link, and a menu appears beneath it containing "sub" links. We've just updated this popular application for code reduction, plus compatiblity in NS6.

IFRAME scroller Credits: Dynamic Drive
With the help of <IFRAME>, this scroller script uses an external HTML file as its content to display, making updating and adding rich HTML to the scroller a breeze. Works in both IE4+ and NS6+, degrading well with the rest (simply not appearing).

Hover-up menu bar Credits: Dynamic Drive
Add some eye candy to your menu links without resorting to slow loading images. This DHTML script applies a "hover up" effect to any menu, where the link in question "surfaces" when the mouse is over it.

Dynamic countdown script II Credits: Dynamic Drive, modified by Chuck Winrich
Version 2 of the Dynamic countdown script is accurate to the second. This allows you to count down to a particular event that's time sensitive (and not just day).

Flying Planes script Credits: John Ely
This DHTML script animates images cross the screen in a horizontal, left right manner. Here it's used to gently glide planes across the user's browser. A minor suggestion- replace those planes with sleigh :)

Popup boxes updated
Both Popup box I and Popup box II have just been updated. The former is now compatible with all DHTML browsers (IE4+, NS4, NS6), while the later adds to that with a very impressive interface upgrade. Use them to display information in a eye-catching manner.

Drop-in content box Credits: Dynamic Drive
Ensure that particular content on your page gets the attention it deserves, by dropping it into view, using this script. Whether it is an important announcement, an advertisement, or an ode to your pet you feel everyone should read, the choice is yours!

Spider web links Credits: Urs Dudli/ Peter Gehrig
Creativity and ingenuity come together here to form one of the most unique onMouseover effects for your links. With the help of VML, a "spider web" follows the mouse, and expands when moved over designated links.

HV Menu Credits: Ger Versluis
The mighty HV menu has just been updated with several new features, including support for relative positioning, rollover images, and more precise control of menu dimensions. Oh yes, a few bugs were squashed along the way too.

Rain/Snow effect without images Credits: Craig Blanchette
This is simply one of the most efficient, elegant rain/snow effects we've seen. Created without the aid of images, it's also hassle-free to install. Toggle between rain and snow effect with the change of one variable!

Trembling message Credits: Dynamic Drive
Make select messages on your page "shiver" slighly to draw attention to them, with this text script. Likely candidates to put out in the cold are important announcements, advertising text etc. The tremor works in both IE4+ and NS6+.

Elastic band trail Credits: Elastic_Ouille_script@GHindoute.net
Using VML (vectored graphics) to generate the "string" interface and DHTML to then animate it, this script creates an "elastic band" trail for your mouse. Fling it around and watch it bounce back. Thanks to Dereck Moath for submitting this script to us.

Message encrypter Credits: Naresh Kumar
Feel like James Bond and send secret messages! This script scrambles regular text into encoded form using your selected "key." Recipients must then possess the key to be able to decipher the message. Great fun, with one practical use to send out encrypted emails to your friends.
