A lot of DHTML animation that I see is kind of cheesy, and doesn't really serve a purpose. This is no attack on DHTML specifically; lots of gif and Flash animation is also cheesy and pointless. Does anyone have any examples of DHTML animation that is pretty cool, and maybe even purposeful? |

Useful is certainly an arguable point. We could argue that anything other than text and hyperlinks is not useful. The idea I have in mind is something that enhances the page, without being so flashy that it steals the show, or so cheesy that it makes you want to weep. |

OK, I use my DHTML dropdown menu at www.PrimalContent.com for cramming in *many* many links, and I think it is *damn* useful in this context. (You should see the admin menu, 12 categories, each with maybe 4-6 choices under them, all easily organized and fitting on the page. A good thing.) So! I'll include the ability to organize and display many many links on one page (with no scrolling) as useful app #1. |

On the topic of "useful" items; a co-worker, apparently in an attempt to steal my thunder, told me that web design was a useless field to major in, because "surveys show that people don't go to the web to see pictures and pretty graphics; they are looking for information". I think he was ticked off because, since I started going to school, I'm better at Photoshop than he is. Anyway, my response to him was that sure, we go to the web for information, but how many average web users surf with the graphics disabled? Studies also show that a page of nothing but text becomes cumbersome on the web; people want easy navigation, which is a design element. People also want pictures and graphics to frame the content and to break it up. Plus, a well designed web site looks professional. How many times have you found a page that just looked really un-professional, and you left because you felt the company may not be reliable or you didn't take them seriously? |
