A Mac OS X-style Dock In JavaScript

I've never liked the auto zooming of the dock. Unless you have incredibly small icons I don't see a point. Most people I've seen get sick of it pretty soon and turn it off.

This is a really nice demo of doing this in Javascript (I just hope nobody actually uses this on a site).

I'm guilty. I wrote something like this awhile ago for my site... http://tlrobinson.net

I'm not so sure about this code. Personally, I'd use jQuery, which has stuff to make this a lot easier. I haven't looked at the code, but Google turns up http://www.ndesign-studio.com/blog/design/css-dock-menu/

A similar thingy for galleries:

dojo has this too ... [http://dojotoolkit.org/demos/fisheye-demo]

why is your name orange?

If you click on it you'll see. I hacked the code on the server so that nickb's name is in orange today to celebrate getting 10,000 karma points.

The divine gift of a bold orange username is presented to those that reach the nirvana of 10.000 karma points.

thanks, i figured it was something significant

can't wait to see what happens when nickb hits 100.000. But I'm sure it will involve fair maidens, mind-enhancing drugs and a very big cake.

Reminds me Google X.

uhm..

jquery.magnifier();
