Drafted as webmaster for my company and tasked with creating a new products display that simulates the apple Itunes inventory slide.


I am having a problem getting started.
I am thinking that it is just a table with JavaScript but sound as if this is the hard way to do it.

Does anyone know if Frontpage,Dreamweaver etc has an easier method of creating this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It looks like more of a FLASH thing. If so, tell your bosses that you will need a purchased copy of that software plus a couple books. Most companies hate to spend money, so persuade them that a less flashy (no pun) approach is best. To that end you can download javascript that will modify the scroll bar to a limited degree. If they really want the that iTunes then tell them they will likely need to hire someone full time for the job (unless you like this job of coarse)

Whoops. Just noticed two things:
1. the 'itoons thing' is built into itunes.
2. You could do something similar with the CSS overflow. I am just lousy with the stuff so hopefully someone will have the answer.
But you run into the ever so popular issue of browser compatibility. iTunes doesn't worry about that because it is a program.

Drafted as webmaster for my company...

Let me guess... "Vegaman knows PowerPoint, let's have him do the Web site."

Good luck and welcome to the club of people who got here (into Web development) by accident!

LOL. I was drafted, but I'm glad that I did!!!

LOL. I was drafted

I know that in the UK you speak "the Queens English", which is different then our American sloopy English.

For example, what we in America call "fries" you call "chips", and what we call "chips" you call "crisps" ...So I need a clarification. In America, to be "drafted" is to be forced to do something that is not of your choosing. Sometimes you don't mind, but sometimes it is against your will. In the UK, does being drafted mean the same thing?
