Hi Anton
Thanks for your comments. I am well aware of sliders and us ethem
extensively in my work. However what I am trying to acheive is something
very different. Its not just display hide the contents of a tiddler.
Depending on a students selection I need to change the format of the page,
to suit the way that selection needs to display information and continue
reacting with the student. Note that I am not playing with stylesheets to
make pretty colorful changes to the appearance, like youth changing the
skin on there cellular every second day.
For example, when discussing and planning their projects students need the
full width of their display to present the information..... when
researching a new topic they need a part page that can display notes and
images AND a column display of the previously referenced articles on the
relevant topic.....when selecting a new line of study, they are presented
with a widish display of options, a "popup" that shows simple definitions
of that area (that part could be a slider!!!) AND a column list of relevant
references AND a second column of contacts within the course of related
researches.....
I cant imagine how sliders can do all that....but simple changes to
stylesheets can do it easily....except that the default stylesheet is not
displaying when the TW opens,
Thnaks for your suggestion...I hadnt disconsidered it....I just feel you
didnt understand what I am actually trying to acheive.
