Un arrière-plan extensible intelligent Certains sites affichent une (grande) image de fond qui s'adapte à toutes les dimensions de la fenêtre du navigateur, proportionnellement, sans la déformer. La réalisation de ce genre de prouesse n'est pas si évidente techniquement, contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire de prime abord. Comment fait-on ? Exemples Pour avoir un aperçu de ce que l'on veut obtenir, voici quelques exemples utilisant ce principe : Simon & Comet Flavors me Piz'za-za Le point commun de tous ces sites est la mise en avant de leur background : il est fixe et c'est la pièce maîtresse de leur design. Le principe Comme vous venez de le remarquer, ce n'est pas qu'une simple image de fond qui s'adapte à la fenêtre : il n'y a aucune déformation, le ratio est toujours conservé et lorsque la fenêtre est vraiment étroite le fond est recadré. On est donc loin de ce résultat simpliste qui se contente d'étirer l'image à 100% de son conteneur. Préparation de l'image de fond Après enregistrement, l'image est prête à l'emploi ! <!

Continuous Reel Slideshow Description: Continuous Reel Slideshow lets you showcase images in a reel like fashion, one image at a time and in an continuous manner, with no breaks between the first and last slide. The reel can be played from left to right (horizontally), or top down (vertically), and pauses onMouseover. You can implement controls to allow users to manually move the reel forward and backwards, instead of it playing automatically. With that brief introduction out of the way, here are the script's features: Displays images one at a time with no breaks between the first and last slide (and visa versa). This reel is looking good! Note: This script now replaces the two defunct scripts Up-down Image Slideshow Script and Left-right Image Slideshow Script.

12 Fun CSS Text Shadows You Can Copy and Paste Typography is everyone’s favorite toy in web design. One particularly fun tool that CSS gives you to play with your type is text-shadow, which seems simple enough at first but can be used to create some remarkable effects with a little ingenuity and creativity. Today we’re going to run through several text-shadow examples that you can copy and paste for your own work.

Syntax The syntax for creating a simple text-shadow is shown below. text-shadow: horizontal-offset vertical-offset blur color; Putting this into action, here’s an example with a shadow that has been moved down two pixels and right four pixels with a three pixel blur and a color of black at 30% opacity. text-shadow: 2px 4px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.3); Here’s the result of this code, a nice simple shadow that is quite appealing all by itself.

The anchor for the thumbnail will point to the element with the id image-1 which is the division with the class lb-overlay. Note that we only use a navigation in the last demo.

6 Best Logo Maker & Creator Software Twitter has a bird, Nike a tick, McDonald’s the golden arches and Apple an apple. All of these are instantly familiar icons.

Display inline-block, une valeur trop peu utilisée Floatera, floatera pas… mais pourquoi ne pas utiliser la valeur inline-block de la propriété display en CSS ? Vous connaissez certainement les valeurs block ou inline, mais moins celle de inline-block et pourtant elle peut vous servir dans bien des cas. Voyons dans quelles conditions nous pouvons l'utiliser (de manière non exhaustive) dans un premier temps, puis dans un second temps quelques difficultés dans son utilisation. Cette astuce a été publiée initialement sur le blog personnel de l'auteur, creativejuiz.fr à la date du Jeudi 17 mars 2011.
