Range Slider | Range Input Using HTML5 & CSS3 | NO JAVASCRIPT

A regular website coder will face a situation where they will have to use a range slider to fulfill some requirements. I regularly used JQuery UI range slider, but thanks to HTML5 that they made us our life easy. HTML5 has a new input tag, its type is defined as "range". Using this, a range slider will be formed, but for now this is only supported by -webkit- supported browsers. You can read more on new HTML5 input tags over here.



In todays tutorial we will explore range slider.

Basic syntax:

[html]
<input type="range" id="rangeinput" value="50"/>
[/html]

You can edit the CSS and change the slider icon.

[css]
input[type="range"] {
-webkit-appearance: none;
background-color: black;
height: 2px;
}

input[type="range"]::-webkit-slider-thumb {
-webkit-appearance: none;
position: relative;
top: -1px;
z-index: 1;
width: 11px;
height: 11px;

-webkit-border-radius: 40px;
-moz-border-radius: 40px;
border-radius: 40px;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#ebf1f6), color-stop(50%,#abd3ee), color-stop(51%,#89c3eb), color-stop(100%,#d5ebfb));
}
[/css]

CSS3 Tabs | NO JAVASCRIPT

TABS, a famous word in website development. Every coder has used it in websites but only using JQuery. Today I ll share a small trick to use tabs without using any JQueries but only using CSS3.



Like previous tutorial on CSS3 toggle, in this also we will use pseudo element :target

The logic is really simple, we will form an unordered list, and inside li there will be a div with unique ID, when this unique ID will be called through some href link then the respective div will appear.

So here is the basic HTML Code:

[html]
<div id="container">
<p style="text-align:center;">CSS3 TABS. <b><i>NO JAVASCRIPT&nbsp;</i></b></p>
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li id="One"><a href="#One" id="first">One</a>
<div>
<p>In today’s tutorial I am going to share a simple way to make News Ticker and Notification Bar using CSS3, NO JAVASCRIPT. Previously it was very difficult to code it in javascript and make it work with other plugins, but today I decided to make it possible in CSS3 and voila, I succeeded So lets</p>
</div>
</li>
<li id="Two"><a href="#Two" id="sec">Two</a>
<div>
<p>While reading more about HTML5 & CSS3 I just found an amazing css3 button styling. This time I wanted to do something which I was doing from past 2 years using JQuery. In this tutorial I am going to teach you how to make a toggle slideDown and slideUp function using CSS3 and HTML5. To</p>
</div>
</li>
<li id="Three"><a href="#Three" id="third">Three</a>
<div>
<p>Lets start learning CSS3 before its too late, I just saw a website which amazed me with its animation effects. First I thought that the site is using some JQuery libraries but when I actually went into the code, I found it is CSS3. So I started learning it, and today I made my first Read more...</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
[/html]

We will be using transition to show the fade in fade out effect using opacity. On click of href the transition will be triggered and the opacity of the div changes.

CSS

[css]
li div {
-moz-transition: all 0.5s ease 0s;
-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease 0s;
border: 1px solid #888888;
float: left;
opacity: 0;
padding: 0 15px;
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
width: 250px;
left:0;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #E3E3E3, #FFFFFF 85px) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
}

#tabs li a{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #E3E3E3, #FFFFFF 18px) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
border: 1px solid #888888;
margin: 0 3px 0 0;
padding: 5px 25px;
position: relative;
z-index:1;
font-size: 14px;
border-radius:10px 10px 0 0;
display:block;
top:1px;
}

#One:target div, #Two:target div, #Three:target div{
opacity:1;
visibility:visible;
}
[/css]

CSS3 News Ticker | CSS3 Notification Like Stackexchange

In today's tutorial I am going to share a simple way to make News Ticker and Notification Bar using CSS3, NO JAVASCRIPT.


Previously it was very difficult to code it in javascript and make it work with other plugins, but today I decided to make it possible in CSS3 and voila, I succeeded

So lets start with basic html code:

[html]
<div id="bar">
<input type="checkbox" id="close" />
<label for="close" id="header"><span>Click Here!</span></label>

<div id="fluid-bar">
<div id="wrap">
<div id="news_ticker">
<p style="float: left; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 5px 0pt 0pt 10px;">Latest news</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Samsung Galaxy S2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">LG Optimus Black</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Samsung Note</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sony Xperia S</a></li>
</ul>
<p style="float: left; color: #000000; margin: 5px 0pt 0pt 10px;">|</p>
<p style="float: left; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 5px 0pt 0pt 10px;">Notification message</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
[/html]

 
News ticker logic is simple, we make the UL tag height fixed and will change the position of LI to move top all the time.

Notification bar logic is tricky, here we will be using checkbox, if checked then toggle the bar.

CSS for Notification Bar:

 
[css]
#fluid-bar {
background-color: #F26D5E;
height: 35px;

-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
-moz-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
-o-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
-ms-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
overflow: hidden;
}

#close {
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
display: none;
}

#close:checked ~ #header:after {
content: "X";
color: #F26D5E;
}

#close:checked ~ #fluid-bar {
height: 0px;
}
[/css]

And the css for notification bar:

 
[css]
@-moz-keyframes ticker {
0% {
top: 0;
}
25% {
top: -20px;
}
50% {
top: -40px;
}
75% {
top: -60px;
}
100% {
top: 0;
}

}

ul {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;

-webkit-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
height: 20px;
margin: 5px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 150px;
}

li {
list-style: none;
}

li a {
color: #35A2D4;
font-family: tahoma;

-webkit-animation: ticker 10s cubic-bezier(1, 0, .5, 0) infinite;
-moz-animation: ticker 10s cubic-bezier(1, 0, .5, 0) infinite;
-ms-animation: ticker 10s cubic-bezier(1, 0, .5, 0) infinite;
animation: ticker 10s cubic-bezier(1, 0, .5, 0) infinite;
position: relative;
}
[/css]
