A lot of blogs and websites that have a wide range of users tend to have buttons or images that change the text size for easier readability. This can easily be implemented with a bit of JavaScript and some HTML to attach it to. There are libraries out there that do this, but in many cases it is likely overkill. Simplicity is generally better where possible.

Smooth link scrolling alleviates this a little, by scrolling the page to the new link rather than jumping there directly. Try the links below (and the "back to top" links) to jump around the document to see the effect. Happy scrolling!

Grids are structure imposed on chaos. They are a harmonious and reliable system for presenting information. Grids offer an effective design approach for site layouts and assist in communicating site’s main messages clearly to the end user. They created ordered hierarchies, proportional relationships, and clear visual paths for the eye to travel.

There are many ways to go about accomplishing this feature. The best way to accomplish this is with this code that I found at Perishable Press. Many others have chosen to do this by adding inline JavaScript to their HTML markup, and we all know that that is a big no-no in today’s world. Today, with the use of the powerful Document Object Model, or DOM, we are able to manipulate our markup without actually changing anything.

These details give the designer total control, allowing them to create beautiful and consistent typography in their designs. While these details can be applied across different types of media, in this articles we’re going to focus on how to apply them to web design using CSS.

Ниже приведен пример реализации такого элемента пользовательского интерфейса как slider или, в простонародии, ползунок с помощью JavaScript. Задача скрипта такова, чтобы можно было размещать на странице произвольное количество slider'ов и контролировать (получать/задавать) их состояние, а также была возможность изменять внешний вид элементов. Ну и конечно же не забываем про кроссбраузерность.

Whenever one builds a website, one issue is always guaranteed time consuming: highlighting the current page or section in the website with a different style.

Still, the world of web design is not only for the artistically talented. There are in fact quite a lot of programmer-like rules for web design. Rules that are structured, scientific, much like coding conventions. Rules that you as a programmer can apply universally, rules that make your design look good.In this article, I will point out a few of these rules. Welcome to the scientific approach of web design.

Возникает странный эффект: в печатных СМИ редакция "строит" под свои представления о реальности свою аудиторию, в интернет-СМИ аудитория медленно, незаметно, но довольно эффективно "строит" редакционную политику под свои интересы. Повторюсь - ровно то же происходит и в печатных СМИ, но там скорость процесса много меньше, а "звездит", как правило, не автор, а функциональное подразделение в самой редакции: отдел светской жизни, отдел спорта, отдел политики. В сетевом СМИ в отделе спорта место для обозревателя биатлона, а в отделе культуры для театрального критика сомнительны: футбол в прямом эфире сожрет все виды спорта, физически сожрет, а поп-критик и книжный рецензент вытеснят театральный текст в момент.

PNG-24 is what most web developer’s use for transparency on the web. It tends to have large file sizes but provides excellent transparency. Using PNG-8 or GIF for transparency doesn’t work near as well… at least normally! There is actually a way to use PNG-8 transparency that is better than PNG-24.

This beautifier can process your messy or compacted javascript, making it all neatly and consistently formatted and readable.

JS Bin is a webapp specifically designed to help JavaScript and CSS folk test snippets of code, within some context, and debug the code collaboratively. JS Bin allows you to edit and test JavaScript and HTML (reloading the URL also maintains the state of your code - new tabs doesn't). Once you're happy you can save, and send the URL to a peer for review or help. They can then make further changes saving anew if required.
