Stationary tab on side page of website

**twinsmagic** · 03 December 2010, 02:46 AM

On Xara's own homepage they have this stationary tab for youtube, twitter, and facebook. Here's the screenshot

In WordPress, this is a simple plugin. Anyone know how to add that to a page created with XWD???

Thanks!

Welcome to TalkGraphics

I haven't a clue. But maybe someone from Xara will explain it. Check back.

Just heard back. Xara's webmaster is off today but may have some suggestions on Monday. Stay tuned.

Hi

Although this isnt the exact method used on the xara site, you can create the desired effect using the jquery plugin from http://thomasalwyndavis.com

You would need to insert a placeholder with the name <head> applied and include links to
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="http://thomasalwyndavis.com.nyud.net/socialsidebar/jquery.socialsidebar.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

(jquery can also be referenced from google or downloaded and referenced locally)

The head placeholder would also need to include the script which controls the links applied to each of the buttons of the social side bar.

Hope this helps

Hello,

Would it be possible to also use this as a sliding content tab where when you clicked on it it opened from the left side to show content and
links in a box until you slide off? If not does anyone know of a similar method for WD6.

Thanks
