- goodcompany, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Where is the "disable magnification" function?
- barthosch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Don't flame that guy for doing this for fun. If you want fancy dock-like animations, check out the flyakiteOSX page (great job on mimicing OSX in a website w/o flash) at http://osx.portraitofakite.com/. But if you want that without scripts, why don't you just code CSS 4 and HTML 7 or so?
- paularms, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oops... Just checked in IE7 beta 2 and it appears to work just like Mozilla browsers do.
- alevel27mage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Bucky: That site was actually made by Google. It had to be taken down after complaints from Apple.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.theplaceforitall.com/googlex/
That would get my digg :) - Omicron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i can see a little bit of potential with this... but that example he created is really annoying to try to navigate. =/ maybe if there were a more useful example i'd digg it.
btw, 23 diggs in 21 hours and it's on the front page? odd. - kin83, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The following link shows an effect that more closely resembles the OS X dock.

It uses Javascript/CSS. - ttfadia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As it is right now, the effect is disconcerting at best. In a case like this, more people would be able to see it (and you could produce a better effect) using javascript. In any case, it's a cool idea.
- paularms, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hey everyone, this is actually my site/experiment. Please note that it is ONLY an experiment and a very minimalistic example. You could use a similar example with images and it would probably look a lot nicer, but I scrapped this together in a few hours for fun.
As for those of you saying it doesn't work in browser X, it is noted right in the post that it doesn't work correctly in anything but Mozilla browsers. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Doesn't work with Safari...
- wired4christ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this idea doesn't really look new, doesn't it involve just having the rollover effect to a bigger font? atleast thats what i see. and the googlex site given as an example does a good job at showing the effect but isn't this also just using an enlarged picture for a rollover effect? I might be wrong so someone who knows better please elaborate.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Where is the "disable magnification" function?"
LOL! - schrags, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I don't like it.
- gamekid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0(On a complete side note, selecting and copying a SELECT element in IE7B2P copies all of its elements. Suhweeeet.)
- gamekid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Kinda-sorta works in the IE7 Beta 2 Preview.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Would be a LOT better if it was colors and ONE size change like a gradient rather than crap!
- jaredvolkl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I applaud the guy for trying to be innovative with CSS. I'm not a fan of change text size when it shifts other content around though. In this case, if you had any content below your navigation it would get pushed down when hovering over the links. I just don't like it. Now what would be cool would be if you could do this entirely with CSS and using graphics.
- GothGargoyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Seems like fairly basic CSS.
What I don't get is the point of it. To me, it seems like a good way of making a page really annoying! - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The effect is obnoxious, however the approach is novel.
Digg. - Bucky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This site, which I believe has been shown here on digg before, implements this idea well on a Google search page:

but googlex uses mostly scripts to do that. Anything that can use :hover and CSS selectors instead (this story included) would get an instaDigg from me. - AndreMA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's be a lot less visually jarring if the LI elements were maybe { display: block; height: 1.8ex; margin: N.Nex 0;} and N.N were adjusted downward to exactly compensate for the increased height of the LI on :hover
- swhite1987, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That Google site is cool, but its all Javascript. The site trying to get dugg, however, is useless.
- cryptic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0simple, and nice gimmick.
- takusi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Right. I tried the site again with firefox. It works but I still don't get the point of this gimmick (besides one can do it and I certainly praise the guy for a try). Maybe it is a picture (or charts, etc) that would be nice if enlarged not texts. I don't know.
- patrickweber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sorta...
- Porgie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's mostly annoying.
How does stuff like this get onto the front page? - mzhao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting.
I like how it pointed out (in a way) that there's no way in CSS to select parent elements. - frickindeal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It seems to be directional, in that the text above your hover is not increased, but the text below is. Firefox 1.5.0.1.
Cute little experiment, but it makes navigation harder, not easier.
If every experiment gets dugg, this place will be a bigger mess than it is now.
No digg. - hadem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i have seen better.
- bede, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0interesting technique, but the effect sucks
- accidental, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I want to digg this only because it isnt a 5 year old article (which is what most commonly makes front page here) however, the technique itself isnt anything that special (or even had) to pull off. Therefore, no digg :(
- DarkDonnie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's ugly as sin, but still a really clever idea.
- cadavreexquis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't care how cool the effect is, if it doesn't support most browsers (sorry, most people still use IE), it's useless to us designers. It's good to hear it'll work in IE7 though.
There is a javascript hack if you really want to use the :hover pseudo selector on anything other than the a element. Find it in this article: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ - sigterm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The reason it didn't work on ie was because the hover attribute only works for certain element types. If you change the style sheet to point at the anchor objects rather than the line item objects it works better.
- Aamir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol, nice try, but i still don't like it
- mlingojones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0um... this is a really pointless thing. no practical use, and it's so simple that it's not even worth pointing out like this.
by the way, the google x thing was an official google homepage for a few hours. it was not the responsibility of this dude. - rhyno2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Another CSS gimmick. Interesting idea, but doesn't work in at least 85% of the browsers.
- pgiger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Works fine in my firefox 1.5 and Flock 0.5...
- ronaldpoi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I found it very interesting from a developer point of view... but it doesn't work properly in Safari... =(
I still digg this! - senzafine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@helpseeker
that's a good idea. using this approach...that should be trivial. the point of this is more a proof of concept than a finished product. very clever implementation. i (and most of us here) wouldn't have thought of it.
digg++ - fifalover, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree kin83, Dojo does it much better.
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's cool how you pulled it off but... doesn't really look appealing... at all...
- dombi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This looks really bad with Safari... I hope that it looks better in other browsers... It is too late to try with other browsers. :-P
- upenox, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1That is....hideous
- takusi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0It's not good as it sounds. Is this because of my Safari browser?
- Dogtown7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1fairly crappy...no digg.
- ryan_merket, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1uh... he is asking for help... he didnt accomplish anything, yet.
