hmm.. this sure looks good. I normally just have my roll-overs in one image and move the position on hover.
Seems like one of those “we have AJAX because it’s cool” sort of things.
Not really necessary, but shorty114 said it’s cool, isn’t it?
What’s really necessary I ask? JavaScript, HTML, the Internet?
What’s the meaning of life?
crapy solution better do is the css way (via ajaxian.com);
and to shauninman:
is uncalled for since your site has always been slow due to bloated scripting nor does it work well with IE… like its that hard to apply some css filters.
Mr. Pixel: 42
webdev: The JavaScript version of the fix is recommended over the CSS filter for performance reasons (see the second update here).
I won’t argue that my site “has always been slow due to bloated scripting.” That’s not the case anymore though is it? The Ajax dig may have been “uncalled for” but it seems silly that another site has a more coherent and concise explanation of the technique in a single blog post.
