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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 Quote Link to comment 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
