Does neowin use jQuery and CSS


Question

This is mainly a question for the developers at neowin, is your drop down menu jQuery and CSS driven or just CSS. The only reason I ask is because I just started using jQuery and I have a tutorial which shows you how to create a smooth mouse over menu system and CSS and it looks awesome. Although yours has rounded corners, this has square but the principle is the same. jQuery is easy to learn.

I don't think Neowin uses jQuery, but it uses some sort of JavaScript Framework.

Rounded corners is simple to do in CSS, but each standards-compliant browser has it's own version of it in CSS. Technically the code is not valid, but if it works, it works. It's the border-radius property. Mozillas version is -moz-border-radius, Webkit's version is -webkit-border-radius, and I believe Operas is just border-radius.

I believe if Neowins menu was pure (X)HTML and CSS, it would not work in older browsers like IE6.

.. and using different fonts in posts is cool. Might do it more. >.>

IPB uses prototype, but for everything else we use jQuery.

However, the dropdown menus are simple CSS. At most, we have added some transitional effects from jQuery, but it's not used for the basic dropdown functionality.

The non-prefixed border-radius property works in Webkit too I believe, same for the IE9 previews. It's just Firefox that doesn't support the non-prefixed version, but allegedly Fx4 will.

box-shadow is a mess at the moment, if anything it'll probably end up with either IE9 getting the prefix, or it's implementation changing in either Gecko or WebKit.

Edit: Ideally the prefix shouldn't be dropped until the module it's in is in the CR (Candidate Recommendation) stage, unfortunately it's on a per module basis, so while border-radius is pretty much done, box-shadow isn't.

Thank you, I have only just started using jQuery, and it's the first time I have ever heard of it until yesterday prototype has been around for a while but jQuery is relatively new. jQuery saves a lot of time in coding, its like cutting corners but it's quite powerful.

Not sure why you think jQuery is new, but I am still learning more and better ways of using it. Lovely framework.

Same here, its by far and away the best "general purpose" JS library out there. Its saved me countless hours of coding.

...

Just in case anybody was wondering what I meant by that, here's some images.

On the left is Gecko, WebKit is in the middle and on the end is the IE9 preview. The spec doesn't really say what the blur radius actually does/effects, so no browser is wrong or right.

    • I have not changed the scaling at all.   Winareo Tweaker has worked for years with no issue for this since MS took away our font customization options.

    • My home system is a 5800X (upgraded from 2700X) with a 7800 XT. I can't comment as to why you feel so strongly about the differences, but I have used both Windows 10 and 11 for literally thousands of hours each; I'd guess over 10,000 hours on Windows 10 and maybe half that on Windows 11. Earlier builds of Windows 11 had some pretty big UI lag issues, which did annoy me, but not enough to go back to Windows 10. 23H2 and forward have corrected all those issues for me and I have no complaints at all at this time. Let me clarify what I meant by "Windows 11 runs perfectly fine." I don't mean it is merely acceptable; I mean that I don't perceive a difference between it and Windows 10. I chose the word "fine" because I don't believe that either 10 or 11 are perfect in that area and both have the rare UI hiccup, but in my experience, their responsiveness is at the same level.
