- albatross5000, on 11/05/2007, -5/+60Nothing at all "advanced" about this at all. It could be done many different ways, very simply.
- Hervard, on 11/03/2007, -2/+47It's not a menu, it's a simple CSS rollover tutorial.
Nice-looking site, though! - utcursch, on 11/03/2007, -0/+25It does:

- mobilitatis, on 10/31/2007, -0/+17"..just have them both occupy the same cell of a table.."
You are still using tables, OMG! - iffypop, on 11/01/2007, -1/+14You constantly come accross "good" developers who cant code html/css for *****.
- rafe, on 11/05/2007, -2/+14Its been done a while bak
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/sprites/ - Raiku, on 11/05/2007, -3/+15Design Rules
#1 - Easy to See.
#2 - Easy to Use.
#3 - Functioning on All Browsers.
#4 - Serves it's purpose. - Malachai, on 10/30/2007, -0/+11As far as I know, that method prevents having to load multiple images, and prevents the hover image not being loaded by the time one hovers over it.
- Bdog2g2, on 11/05/2007, -0/+11Like 98% of all things on the internet. There's not such thing as ONE solution.
- norbiu, on 11/03/2007, -0/+11Grammar rules - Do not confuse
#1 - It's with Its
#2 - their with there
#3 - you're with your - mefisto, on 11/05/2007, -1/+11I actually fail to see anything new about this. As Hervard already noted, its not even menu.
- Bdog2g2, on 10/31/2007, -0/+9Just because you don't know how to do it well, doesn't mean its not coding.
- felixthehat, on 10/31/2007, -2/+11A good example of this is the apple.com nav bar: http://images.apple.com/global/nav/images/globalna ...
- Chesh, on 11/01/2007, -1/+10This version uses less markup, no empty tags and validates, it doesn't do the fancy little words when you hover over, but you can easily add those in. It could also be done with one image instead of the original 6 with a little more effort and markup. It also works in IE6 without the strange flickering.

IE6+ Opera, Gecko and Safari 2+. CSS is in the source.
Always more than one way to skin a cat. - subliminalurge, on 11/01/2007, -0/+9I'd hate to hit ANY page with dial-up.
- eliburford, on 10/31/2007, -2/+10What is it?
- hubbers, on 11/05/2007, -0/+7How is this advanced???? These techniques are years old.
- andresxv, on 10/31/2007, -2/+9A nice proof of what can be done with a little CSS, instead of using FLASH for everything
- Chesh, on 11/01/2007, -0/+7I don't mean to be a dick but this is hardly "advanced" and the author uses about 5 times the necessary markup to pull it off.
- tdous, on 10/31/2007, -1/+7You automatically negated your entire set of entrenched opinions when you decided an opposing point of was was "retarded".
- robuk24, on 11/01/2007, -0/+5v old css trick. Dugg for site design, really nice work.
- silverchrysalis, on 10/30/2007, -0/+5reminds me of some of the schoolbooks that were designed in the late 70s/early 80s
- mapkinase, on 10/30/2007, -0/+5omg, ponies!
- TyR88, on 10/30/2007, -0/+5the very same books that they still use at the school i went to.
- badnewsblair, on 10/31/2007, -1/+6I agree. I really like the background on this page. Actually, I'm more inclined to read a tutorial on that then the navigation shown here.
- westkoast, on 10/31/2007, -1/+6This is not a great example to release to the masses... -900% text-indent is great way for some Search Engines to believe you are spamming
- dynacrylic, on 11/03/2007, -11/+15I love the floral design in the background.
- Chesh, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4True, I omitted them for the sake of time since they were separate images in the original version, it can be done with one. Spacing can be tweaked at your own discretion, you can always pad the list elements or use absolute positioning to achieve your desired result.
- phizzion, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4In a small firm you shouldn't have a problem. Unless you have some great design talent it is best to study design and get a design degree (even a 2 year one). That way you can move yourself up in Ranks and not be laying out other peoples ideas all day.
- VictoryGin, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4not so long as you can get a hold of the proper career chip
- simpleid, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4i'm a programmer who has been designing since around 8 years of age. i can do both better than most. so screw you. ;-) probably because i tend to think of everything as an art. which it is. and everything has a science to it even art. ;-) x2
- svivian, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4It's not advanced but it is over-complex, with all the s and whatnot. And because it doesn't use sprites, the images don't load instantly - that is something I thought we all learned back in the javascript menu days...
- BobTurtle, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4One day (if ever), when you learn about "separation of concerns" you'll realize that only an idiot would do this sort of thing in javascript.
- amadeusdemarzi, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4you do realize that digg's designer is also a front end coder?
Retard. - polaris878, on 11/03/2007, -1/+5Fails #1 and #3... IMO not easy to see, too much *****. As for #3, it was utter fail in IE6 but worked in Firefox and IE7
- inactive, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3It isn't very fun to say the least, but it is smaller than CNN.com. (An unhappy dial-up user)
- strictnein, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3Well, *****, and here I am doing front end coding (along with minor image manipulation) and back end programming. I guess I should just go shoot myself because I'm a retard.
If you're a backend programmer, you probably should be able to knock out some decent XHTML. It's really not that tough. - inactive, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3I think you're confused on what the "model" part of MVC is for starters. The rest of your flaws are too obvious to state.
- Ascus, on 10/30/2007, -2/+4Simple but pretty. I would hate to hit that page with dial-up though.
- iChainsaw, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2yeah, i was expecting some new method...but no...same old deal...
- simpleid, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2Wordpress is garbage, and if you can't accept it you're blind to the obvious. It takes more than looking pretty to be good. Anything can be made to look pretty. Wordpress was designed to run off of retarded monkeys. It can't handle a bandwidth load created by more than two users.
- mrjeffery, on 11/01/2007, -4/+6Im 26 and work in IT support. Am i too old to get into web design?
- mobilitatis, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2You take my word out of my mouth, my 2 cents works just fine and fulfill these Rules
http://web2.0flow.com/how-not-to-tab-a-navigation- - phizzion, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2I would do the sarcasm here but it sounds like you really care about this so.....
Don't listen to him/her. Its never too late but make sure you know the difference. A web designer only designs the information and will do small to medium amounts of development. A web developer will do the front end and back end programming. So make sure you know what you want to do.
For design, Just go back to school and get a degree in communication design and get on lynda.com and buy some books and really study to learn some development. Then you need to find a small web design firm in your area and work there to get your feet wet. Once you do that the sky is the limit. But remember it is never to late. - alperea, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2nice, try viewing the source of this guys and the source of the original post. What a difference!
- BobTurtle, on 11/01/2007, -3/+5Yes. Sadly, the latest Web Designer bylaw amendments moved the minimum entrance age back to 22 so you just missed out by a few years. Better luck in your next life!
- bagelpirate, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1#5 Keep it simple, stupid.
- Raiku, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1That what I basically summed up
- Zybergod, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1There is nothing new under the sun.
