A new look, a work in progress.

5 Comments »

Well, those of you who read my ‘blog from my site have noticed a new look slip in overnight.

I like it, and would like to give credit to OSWD’s haran for the layout (Links when I get home).
And, for my CSS/Cross-Browser scripting junkies at home, perhaps you could help me find a solution that works favorably with this:

See the top tabs? I’d like to have a cross-broswer menu system working with it.
I’ve tried implementing two of them that I found at A List Apart, but neither of them would work for me, it seems.
All the stuff I want to use is formatted as a list:
See the archives on the right? I want to move those to the top, so that I can use the side space for more useful stuff. Same with the Categories. Search would be a bit trickier: I want to mouse over it and have it appear, but not disappear until I clicked away from it on something else, such as empty page space.
Perhaps I missed a key element, perhaps something else. If you can help me get a mouseover menu system (preferably one that also works with tabbing on the keyboard, as well), I would be very grateful.

If all else fails, I’ll just go and rape someone’s VB3 and steal its javascript for my own use. :
