Guest Blog: Create a Color Palette Using CSS and MooTools 1.2

By  on  

As you can see from my site's lack of design, I'm about 90% programmer and 10% designer.

    Pure CSS Slide Up and Slide Down

    If I can avoid using JavaScript for element animations, I'm incredibly happy and driven to do so.  They're more efficient, don't require a JavaScript framework to manage steps, and they're more elegant.  One effect that is difficult to nail down with pure CSS is sliding up...
