Umut M. — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 23:12:45 +0000

Codrops, a web development blog publishing very nice tutorials, has released a set of creative navigation examples built with pure CSS(3).

There are 10 unique examples, all have the same HTML structure but different CSS styles that make use of CSS transitions and animations.

Icons used are from a symbols typeface, so, no images are used in the examples but only HTML, CSS and a custom font file.

They are definitely beautiful "as is" and also a good starting point to create new ones.

Flexible Nav – A jQuery Plugin For A Unique Navigation

Flexible Nav is a jQuery plugin that can automatically generate a sitemap-like navigation for web pages.

It analyzes the heading tags of the page and displays them on the right side of the page as links by proportionally keeping the distances between each item.

Each link gets users to the related items and, as the user scrolls, the navigation keeps showing "on which part of the page you are".

As the name states, the plugin is flexible in many aspects; it can target any custom tags (rather than headings) or create the navigation for a given wrapper rather than the whole .

The plugin is specially handy for web pages that are updated frequently in a given structure as there will be no need to update the navigation each time.

If you have a web application where users need to know few tricks before using it, guiding them in the beginning would be a good idea.

Codrops is sharing a very nice jQuery script that makes creating a chic site tour so easy.

It works by adding classes (with a specific format) to the elements to be highlighted and configuring them to display any custom text.

The script can work manually by the user clicking prev-next links or totally automated in the pre-defined order.

Tooltips displaying the information can also be customized as color, position and the duration they will be active.
