New Twitter Design with CSS and JQuery.

The Twitter new web interface design is live for many more today. The makeover of the new Twitter was really fantastic, In this post I decided to explain how to implement new Twitter user interface design with CSS and JQuery. Use it and enrich your web applications.

Step 1

First create a DIV element with attribute ID value container. The layar contains of two DIV elements attribute class values right and left.

<div id='container'> 
<div class='right'></div> 
<div class='left'></div>
</div>

Step 2

Now create a panel-frame DIV element inside the container DIV. This layer contain a DIV element attribute class value panel (sliding or rolling).

<div id='container'> 
<div class='right'></div>
<div id="panel-frame"> 
<div class="panel"></div>
</div>
<div class='left'></div> 
</div>

Step 3

Here the final HTML code ready. Now using jQuery to sliding or rolling the <div class='panel'>...</div>
HTML Code

<div id='container'>
// Right part
<div class='right'>
</div>

<div id="panel-frame">
<div class="panel">
<div class="head"> <a href="#" class="close">Close</a></div>
<div class="data">
// jquery id
</div>
</div>
</div>

//Left Part
<div class="left">
// Message display here
<div class="block" id="1">1</div>
<div class="block" id="2">2</div>
...............................
...............................
</div>

</div>

Javascript
$(".block").click(function(){})- block is the class name of DIV tag. Using $(this).attr('id')- calling DIV tag ID value.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/
ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{

$('.block').click(function()
{
var id= $(this).attr('id'); // .block ID
var data_id= $(".data").html(); // .data DIV value
var panel= $('.panel');
var panel_width=$('.panel').css('left'); // rolling panel width


if(data_id==id)
{
// Rolling Animation
panel.animate({left: parseInt(panel.css('left'),0) == 0 ? +panel.outerWidth() : 0});
}
else
{
// panel width CSS width:340px + border:1px = 341px
if(panel_width=='341px')
{
// No rolling animation
}
else
{
// Rolling Animation
panel.animate({left: parseInt(panel.css('left'),0) == 0 ? +panel.outerWidth() : 0});
}
}
// passing id value to <div class='data'$gt; </div>
$('.data').html(id);
return false;
});

// panel close link
$('.close').click(function()
{
var panel= $('.panel');
panel.animate({left: parseInt(panel.css('left'),0) == 0 ? +panel.outerWidth() : 0});
return false;
});

});
</script>
