View Full Version : jQuery / Spry (slider/tab) Quest



Heartfelt
12 Apr 2011, 08:35 AM
Hey gang,
I am new to jQuery and am still struggling to find a tutorial clear enough to provide a good understanding of the variables of creating a slider but streamlined enough to preclude the teaching of the entirety(so to speak) of jQuery.

I want to build this (http://www.alspecialtygases.com/) or this (http://www.sweetwater.com/).

Can anyone point me to a good tut?

Also, in the tinkering that I have done with jQuery widgets and Spry tabs, I am noticing that while editing, everything expands. The problem I find with this is that it throws my dimensions off in the design phase. When I hit preview, everything snaps in place.

Being a graphic guy first, this is disturbing. Can anyone tell me if this is the norm with widgets of this nature or am I doing something wrong?

What do you do to work around this, if it is normal or is it merely an acceptance issue?

Thanks in advance
Rob
