Praise from...

Stuart Goldman
I was in need of some very quick modifications to my web site for a new launch for funding. Frank provided not only the best and most efficient solutions quickly, he helped with thinking through the design and making great suggestions for a smooth, user friendly, and effective web site. Frank helps you think through it and doesn't just mimick your wishes. A sign of a good designer. A pleasure to work with.

Javascript - CSS - HTML nav buttons with page indicator PDF Print E-mail
Code Samples

Page indicator script (MSIE friendly). This script matches the file name of the browser location bar with one of the nav-bar links. If a match is found, the script changes the CSS class of the matched nav-bar button.

In the case of the home page, if the location bar does not display the file name (domain only), the script assumes the directory default (index.asp, in this case).

Javascript nav button page indicator
(Figure 1)

Javascript indicator nav bar
(Figure 2)

Instead of graphics, the nav bar buttons (Figure 2) are generated with HTML (Figure 3) and CSS (Figure 4). Note that in this example, the HOME button's CSS class is changed from 'nav' to 'selected' with Javascript (Figure 1).
