DOMAssistant.boxIt

Langue française Graphical round box made easier...


What is it ?

Pour un développement plus léger
BoxIt extends DOMAssistant library functionalities. This plugin can be used to automate the creation of graphical round boxes on block-type tags (P, DIV, UL, LI) in an HTML page.

For example,, menu links, background of above title and shadowing of the image below have been realized with DOMAssistant.boxIt.

Basis

It starts with a simple ambition : how to easily create graphical rounded boxes fitting inside-text resizing and differents windows width (on fluid page designs).

Technically, boxIt is not a new way to do this... Principle is detailed, for example, here and there.
I used it on several projects et it always gave me satisfaction.
However, using it is heavy during page writing (in particular when it occurs several times in the same block...)

Advantage

Decide by yourself : compare the two pieces of HTML code below...

Without boxIt

<div class="round_cadre">
	<div class="gCont">
		<div class="topCont"><div class="top"><div> </div></div></div>
		<div class="midCont">
		
			<p>Test</p>
		
		</div>
		<div class="botCont"><div class="bot"><div> </div></div></div>
	</div>
</div>

With boxIt

<p class="round">Test</p>

Each of above examples gives following visual effect :
