rare articles - fall asleep

Analytics told me that the Snipts.blog seems to be nothing from interest. Because of this I'll use it as an experimental platform for myself in future.

sniptskwicks - my very first moo-class

tahtahh. Something I wanted to do for a long time. Creating my first mootools-class. I spent so much time on understanding javascript, mootools, and github (not to mention uncountable mistakes), that I'm really proud to present you this little thing: sniptskwicks. It's a small mootools-class based on a plugin by David Walsh (again this guy, thank you man).

the snipts scroll-buttons

One thing I found on the walsh was a snippet for the scroll-buttons on the left here.
I've placed the two scroll-buttons inside a wrap, which I'd like to fade a bit later on.

<div id="the_bttns_wrap">
 <a id="the_totopBttn" class="bttn" title="↑ to top of the page">h</a>
 <a id="the_nextBttn" class="bttn" title="↓ scroll down">i</a>
</div>

note: I'm using my buttons with letters that get replaced by a cufon-font, so the buttons-text is just one char here. See this article for more information.

a button system using cufón

One idea cufon inspired me, was to create a button-font that I'm able to use where I like, in which color I like, in which size I like etc. All the advantages a normal text-link has, combined with the grafical aesthetic of image-based buttons. Plus infinite scalability. Sounds nice?

discussion

For my taste discussing scripts or articles isn't really elegant within blogger, so I decided to create a google group. You'll find it here: group. We'll have to see, if it works better there.
