Enhancing your Web Design with Sliders and Scrollers
A few years back, the only way a web designer could enhance a web design with the kind of cool effects, similar to sliders and scrollers, was by using Flash. Even if you loved it or loathed it, Flash certainly filled the creativity gap that was created by the limitations of HTML, CSS and Javascript. Lately, though, with the advancement and popularity of the javascript libraries (especially with jQuery), those cool effects can be created with a lot less code, a lot less frustration and the file size is a damn sight smaller than using a Flash movie.
Just think, CSS3 and HTML5 is gaining momentum, mix these two elements in with jQuery, and quite possibly, Flash will become redundant.

This is great. I think this a really good article. I personally wouldn’t like to use too much Flash. If there is a “lighter” way to do it.

Nice article. These days the first thing we think of when designing a theme is ‘where are we going to put the slider’.
Sliders are probably the best way to display featured content at the moment. Users also appreciate the effect that they create.
I think that we are reaching a point where sites with high content need a slider of some kind on their home page in order to display enough info / images without stretching the page too long.
BTW Charlie Gentle’s slider is hotness.
