note this entry is way out of date and the code is mostly gone
just an interesting tidbit
I like interesting ideas and interesting effects with js and transparency in particular.
Try the following link..
click here
You will notice that a interesting corner box appears in the upper right.. I am experimenting with this and having it being called via ajax, so that you can be sitting there on a page and as an event comes in that needs your attention, you can pop up this cornerbox which will not bother the user but they will be aware of what needs to be done and are offered a link to check it out or to dispell the effect.
I tried to get this to work with IE, I did.. but, the png fixing script cannot seem to fix the transparency in a hidden cell..
Funny how all the “fixes” are for IE now..
