Indexhibit Support

i love love love indexhibit. great work and thank you for sharing with us non-html skilled n00bs - it makes creating a nice looking site so simple.

can you help me with something? i am using the crabs format to display photos horizontally. as the page scrolls right, the images pass behind the left-most nav frame. is there an easy way to create a 'hide/show' link that would effectively minimize or maximize the frame?

check out my page:

ps thank you for your help.

You could probably achieve this using a combination of javascript (using jQuery) which is included with indexhibit) and some CSS.

Basically, add a link/button to your page and use javascript to toggle the display property of the menu "frame" (or should I say div... frames are old relics of the past ;) )

Have a look at jQuery's hide/show functions for an easy fix.

Hope that helps.

got any tips to help get me started, antoine? i'm totally new to js.

this is what i've tried, but it's not working:

$(document).ready(function()
{

    $('a#show').click(function() {
        $('#menu'.show(500);
        return false;
    });

    $('a#hide').click(function() {
        $('#menu'.hide(500);
        return false;
    });
});

hide show

oh boy, so close!

close your parenthesis after your $('#menu') !!

and there's already a $(document).ready call for your collapsing menu script, you might want to add your custom code in there since it is the same call.
