On a site I'm making I need to have a progress bar, I found one that suited my needs. By default it will incrementally change the color when a certain percentage is reached (0-30 red, 30-70 orange, etc). My only problem is changing them, I can set them easily with a static number such as 50, but when I try to do it dynamically (ie: 2000*...
I would like to add tabs for my website and I understand I can use the tab control in the AJAX toolkit or I can choose to go with JQuery UI tabs. Each tab would need to load a separate asp.net page and I need to customize the tabs to look slick. Any thoughts on what approach I can use? ...

I'm familiar with using a function to determine a specific condition using xtemplate but not sure how to directly call a function without the conditional if statement. My code, for example, wants to append some characters to a string that I am using within my xtemplate. I think the best way to do it is append the characters when the xt...
It's about html/css/javascript menu ;) I am looking for unified solution to hide extra tabs of horizontal/tabbed menu when it overflows it's container. The initial idea plagiarized from firefox tabs workflow, i.e. when you have too much tabs it will wrap extra ones into collapsible dropdown button "List all tabs". I am thinking to pl...

Why doesn't this piece of code swap images on mouse-over as intended?: <a href="#" onMouseOver=" if (document.the_image.src == '01.jpg') { document.the_image.src = '02.jpg'; } else if (document.the_image.src == '02.jpg') { document.the_image.src = '03.jpg'; } else { document.the_image.src = '01.jpg'; } "> Some image</a><...
Hi there, I've came across various style switchers that allow you to change the stylesheet (i.e. Light, Dark, High Contrast), and carious text-resizers that allow you to resize the test (usually with Three A's, small, medium and large). However, I can't seem to find a single switcher/resizer that works well together by allowing permuta...

I'm trying to make long poll ajax calls, back to back. The problem with the current way I'm doing it is that I make each successive call from the callback function of the previous call.
