Enable arbitrary links or image thumbnails to pop up an enlarged (different) image onMouseover by using this CSS code. With the help of CSS’s “:hover” pseudo class, combined with relative and absolute positioning, the enlarged images are simply included on the page as normal HTML, “popping” up on demand. CSS is behaving more and more like scripting!

So we’ve put together a list of over 100 resources to help make your life as a developer easier; where to find snippets of code, sites that automate processes, cheat sheets, lessons, useful tools and a couple of silly videos to give your brain a break if you make it through to the end.

Sometimes being a web-developer is just damn hard. Particularly coding is often responsible for slowing down our workflow, reducing the quality of our work and sleepless nights with pizza and coffee laying around the laptop. Reason: with a number of incompatibility issues and quite creative rendering engines it sometimes takes too much time to find a workaround for some problem without addressing browsers with quirky hacks. And that’s where ready-to-use solutions developed by other designers come in handy.

The more I learn about jQuery, the more natural it feels. Probably because of how closely tied to CSS it is. From a design perspective, the syntax for jQuery is:

So now instead of thinking about CSS as page layout and a way to style your page when it loads, you can use in animation and change it on-the-fly to react to events that happen on your page. Take for example a menu. You can take the “click” event that happens when clicking on a menu to do lots of stuff.

Based on the javascript version that can be found here Link Thumbnails and my previous design for menu links, this one uses only CSS. This does mean that you will have to insert the image information by hand, but that is not really a problem. So links to this web site can now have images on display. Let’s see how long before this new site layout is displayed.
As well as these MSNs screen dumps you can also use any image you like, for instance if you were describing a sparrow you could have a pop-up image to show your visitors. This could be a link or just a reference image.
