    Damn, I used that technique once (setting a negative offset of half the size of the element) and totally forgot about it !

    I should have a private wiki with all these tricks stored somewhere... thanks for this grin

      ok take alook here:

      http://wise.kinghosting.nl/index.php?id=1

      the dead center is working now and we even made some nice text fade away tricks using trancelucent png’s (scroll the text on the home page and you will see it.)

      but the drop up menu, man thats a problem my css is just not that good. the lu and li items are alle positioned below the parent i like it to be on top like shown on this images test.kinghosting.nl

      I hope somone can help with this one

      thanks a lot

        Why not start a fade at the top a bit lower with the disappearing behind the ship effect too? Well done!

            Very nice indeed !

            I love the "continuum" between the header and text... I am not into using overflow this way, mainly because you can’t know what height will avoid the scroller to appear in the visitor’s browser (with FF and developper toolbar, it already appears).

            But otherwise, I like the design and visual aspects of this website, real nice !

                Are you including something to make IE behave with the :hover pseudoclass? The default for MODx is
                to include this conditional block in the template head:

                <!--[if IE]>
                <style type="text/css" media="screen, tv, projection">
                  body { behavior: url(assets/js/csshover.htc); }
                </style>
                <![endif]-->

                    looks like i need some extra styles set into dropmenu for it to work man thats not that easy for me.
                    if any one could help me?

                    this exaple would be nice if it would work in modx.

                    using dropmenu or any menu but it needs extra styles for IE in Fire fox it works fine
