New website, small contribution made

A new website for Acupuncture and Shiatsu practitioner Fiona Hurlock has just gone live at www.fionahurlock.com.

Built and designed by Hughes Design, I was asked to assist with some menus on the treatment page.

The menus were quickly implemented using scriptaculous and css so that the menu element changed colour on hover and the arrow to the left changed to a down arrow when clicked using update(). The text “appears” using the Effect object and is hidden using the hide() function again when other menu items are selected. A speedy solution to getting the site live.

scriptaculous effects failing

If an effect using scriptaculous fails it could be due to it being applied to an element that is hidden (display: none) If the display is set within a css file it needs to be moved to be inline on the element. ie <div style=”display: none”>
The effect should then work.
Thanks to the notes on Effect.Appear at github for this.
