Hi,
I'm attempting to implement a similar animated "sliding panels" effect as the Aveda website.
I'm a little overwhelmed by all the options and Javascript libraries that are available. And a little confused after examining the Aveda website code.
Any recommendations as to how to approach this task please? Which Javascript/Effects library would be most suitable? I don't have any allegiance or greater experience in one library over the other.
My requirements are:
- Cross-browser compatibility (of course)
- Simple & Elegant implementation
- Don't want to re-invent the wheel
- Ability to animate and to be activated by mouse-clicks (like the Aveda front page)
- Dynamic (don't want to have to modify javascript as more 'panels' are added)
My first impressions would be to use Scriptaculous - Effect.Move, but I'm aware that there are ready-made implementations like Spry's.
Any words of wisdom and suggestions would be greatly appreciated by this Javascript newbie.
Prembo.
