Remy, I’m a software designer of the very distant past turned to stay-at-home mom. I have taken up web design just over the last eight months, in need of getting back to the work place. Your jQuery tutorials are excellent! I enjoy the code explanations (sometimes I need a little more, so I can just pause and pop on to google), and the interactive use of the Firebug tool. Thank you so much. I wish you and your wife the best in your biggest blessing(and pain) in life…a baby! I look forward to your book and will get Cody’s book in the meantime. Cheers, Leigh Ann Thomas

Hello Remy,

Firstly, congratulations on the baby news! Lets hope you can teach him/her jQuery from a young age ;)

I'm really looking forward to the book and have pretty much decided to buy it right now before I know many details, so that discount code sounds great ;)

Jack.

Hi Remy, First of all, congrats on becoming a dad!

Thanks for pointing out Cody's jQuery Enlightments. Would also mention a very attractive price... Count me in as a future reader/buyer of your book (jQuery for Designers) too. Greg

I am having the same problem David was having with Thickbox. There are conflicts going on. Did anyone solve this problem yet?

I have noticed what I think is a browser related bug… :-/

If the technique in this tutorial is used on a fixed width, centered layout, the fixed element will not stay in its x-position when the browser window is resized. In the Apple Store it seems like Apple have found a solution that does not break when resizing the browser window.

Firefox plays nice, but Safari is not as cool about this. If ‘position: fixed’ is not added through jQuery, Safari plays nice too.

I am terrible at describing code and website behaviour, but I hope you understand what I am trying to explain.

You can see a demo of the bug here (centered, fixed width): http://jsbin.com/aqeji

Hi guys great solution! i wonder if it is possible to slide 1 by 1 in a carrossel of 3 elements. Not a page of 3 elements at a time.

tks!

Comment on Adding Keyboard Navigation by Clive Walker

In a slightly different but related vein, the left/right arrow keys are used for site/page navigation on Crush + Lovely. I really like this method myself and would be interested to hear what other people think of this. Perhaps worthy of a screencast/tutorial?

Why are you binding the keyup events to $('document.documentElement')? $('document').keyup(function() { … }) seems to work just as well.

This is brilliant! I used it recently on the Prometheus Bound Books website, but I am building a new site and would really like to have the same functionality for horizontal scrolling rather than vertical. Can this be done?

Many thanks Remy for creating this tuorial and all the others.
