Visual effects in Javascript.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

"Use the source, Luke" :-) All JS frameworks come with full source and some documentation. Just look inside.

Answer 2

There are piles of examples and tutorials available from a google search. I tend to use jQuery for fancy stuff.

Here's my favourite jQuery animation example:

just search for:

Answer 3

I'm a fan of jQuery too.

Try:

• http://jqueryfordesigners.com/
• http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/
• http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1492-An-Intensive-Exploration-Of-jQuery-With-Ben-Nadel-Video-Presentation-.htm

Note: jQuery is not just about animation once you get the hang of it you'll write a lot less code inc ajax stuff which is x browser compatible .

Good luck

Mike
