thedailybeast.com has article titles anchoring themselves to the top of the page. Not navigation, but thats the effect you were looking for, right?
For me, it is distracting. I see a flickering effect in my peripheral vision every time I scroll the page down. My focus is lost briefly, but repeatedly. When all I want to do is continue reading an article -- I wouldn't scroll down unless the content was interesting -- this little bugger keeps reminding me what the title of it is. Aside from the physical distraction of the peripheral flicker, for me, the effect also sets in motion a chain of thoughts along the lines of "that is a very bright red they've chosen for the headline ... The designers really wanted it to be noticed ... Red means danger also lipstick red and chinese weddings ... they care more about branding their site than my experience ... Black and white and Red/read all over ... Look at how it keeps coming back even after I scroll away from it ... I wonder if there is a way to turn that off ... I wonder if this would be readable if I printed it out ... Its a pretty font ..." But maybe I'm not the typical reader. -- Darlene Pike On 10/13/08, Jeff Hendy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The end result of a fixed menu seems quite similar to a menu in a frame. > I'm always hearing that frames should be avoided, so what's the difference > here?
