Thanks guys,
Cheers for the link too Karl I noticed it still blinked focus so I looked
a little further and figured its possible to do this
$("a").focus(function(){
this.blur();
});
This fixes the little drag-out problem too, woohoo!
@ Rick > Did you use a menu plug-in for that or just a hide/show effect?
I didnt actually find the plug-in page until I had half built my page
(doh!) so I didnt use the accordion plug-in which I think I will after
looking at it if you double click the .toggle headings it messes up the
backgrounds and I could do with fixing that :¬)
jQuery rules!

Hey Toby,
Nice site!
I wrote an entry on Learning jQuery about blurring links:

Hope that helps.

I really like the way it works too, and it falls back fine easily with no
JS.
Any way of tweaking the tween/animation/scroll so it eases in/out?
Heres my newbie jQuery site > www.tobybrancher.net
<http://www.tobybrancher.net/> its the first time I have used it and
definitely needs some work (been reading up on the href comments made here
although nothing yet about clearing the focus).
Nice1 again!

Absolutely true, Karl. The biggest problem with those new to the Internet
(and, yes, there are such people still around) is the jumping around
between
pages, from one part of the page to the other with anchors, etc. I remember
the first time I used the Internet
my initial response was that it was
very
disconcerting...one click and instantly everything on the screen was
changed,
especially with an anchor.
It took awhile to get used to the freedom to move virtually anywhere on the
Net
in an instant. The smooth scroll effect will make anchors usable for me.
Smooth
changes in page content or orientation help people know where they are in
relation
to where theyve been.

Thanks Rick, all credit for the smooth scroll goes to Stefan Petre,
of course. I like using it over a regular in-page link because it
gives the user a sense of how they got there rather than a
disorienting sudden change. Glad you like the site Rick.
Joel.
I love this smooth scroll, too, and have used it on a few of my own sites.
(Thanks, Stefan!) It's one of those effects that is more than just eye
candy.
I'd love to hear Klaus's take on this, or any other usability guru out
there, but to me the smooth scroll seems much better than the default "quick
jump" because of the "disorienting sudden change" that you mention.
