Hello,

I’m just finishing our new website and i’ve been posting here the effects i’ve created for it.
This one is a little more “show off”;
It’s the way we’ve set up our portfolio using Fx.Elements for the togglers and Slides for the presentation images.
You can check how it works here.

Using this html:

#kwicks .kwick {

	/*width should be the same as javascript's var szNormal*/
	width: 55px;
	background:none;
	border:none;
}

Hope you’ll put it to good work ;)

    Where did you learn about this? Can you give me the source?

    This was built by me using Mootools.
    The source code is on the post. (maybe you can’t see it with Blackberry?)

    Anyway, this post is outdated, so the example link no longer exists.
