Blown away by a website

Posted Thu, May 13 2004 11:10 AM by Mischa Kroon

This doesn't happen to me too often but this definitely is an exception:

http://my.msn.com

The why I'm blown away:

The dragable contents with transparent effects

The themability

The gradients

The context menu's

The resizable columns

Luckily most of this disappears in FireFox :)

Anyone have any pointers on how to integrate this kind of stuff in new websites ?

Update: http://www.brainjar.com/dhtml/drag/ seems to explain part of how to do it :)

It has been a while since the release, but it sure looks extremely good. Microsoft is doing really, really well with the DHTML department! :)
SharePoint 2003 has the same kind of stuff and looks really well as well. In Whidbey there will be a wizard/project that gives the same look as SharePoint has. Pretty need stuff.

The website you're referring to explains the dragging part.

A pretty good site on DHTML is also http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/ with lots of downloadable examples you can instantly use.
