So you know what the aim of this tutorial is, take a look at the end result. This is a fairly technical website, but uses the Moo.fx javascript library for the effects. Make sure that it is downloaded and installed before getting started.
Setting up Moo.fx
First of all, you need to download this Javascript package from the Moo.fx site. Make sure that this is included in the head of each page.
The HTML
You can download a copy of the HTML for the page to take a look and see how the effect is achieved.
The CSS
body {
color: #222;
font: 62.5% verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 5px 0 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
h3 {
background: #000;
margin: 5px 0 0;
padding: 1px 0;
height: 17px;
width: 600px;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 0.99em;
}
h3 a:link, h3 a:visited {
color: #fff;
padding: 2px 8px 1px;
-moz-outline-style: none;
display: block;
height: 14px;
width: 330px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#container {
width: 666px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#header {
text-align: center;
}
#content {
padding: 0 10px 25px 33px;
}
p {
margin: 0 0 1px;
padding: 5px;
line-height: 15px;
}
div.wrapper {
background-color: #EBEBEB;
}
#content div {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 1%;
}
.stretcher {
background: none !important;
}
Put it all together
Make sure you reference Moo.fx and the style sheet in the head of your HTML document, and you should be ready to go! Adding new sections to the layout is as simple as adding a new heading and following the structure which is already there.
