bigtimslim Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm new to js frameworks and was playing around with effects and found one that I really like on my menu items. Using scriptaculous, what is the best way to handle this. Below is the code I was using to test out the dif effects: echo '<li><a href="www.blah.com" onclick="new Effect.Highlight(this.parentNode, { startcolor: \'#ffff99\',endcolor: \'#e0dfdb\' }); return false;">Saved Jobs</a></li>'; This doesn't work and send me to blah.com of course.. should I do a javascript redirect or something after the effect. Also, I don't want the new page to load before the effect happens. Any suggestions?

RichardRotterdam Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Why not use a hover to highlight it? It would be a bit annoying to wait for animation to finish before an action would happen. if you do want to wait for the highlight animation you could create a function that does a animation and redirect after the effect has finished Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140642-scriptaculous-effects-on-menu-items/#findComment-736017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimslim Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 It had been a hover, but this effect looks way cool and is very fast.
