I've never liked the auto zooming of the dock. Unless you have incredibly small icons I don't see a point. Most people I've seen get sick of it pretty soon and turn it off.

This is a really nice demo of doing this in Javascript (I just hope nobody actually uses this on a site).

I'm guilty. I wrote something like this awhile ago for my site... http://tlrobinson.net

I'm not so sure about this code. Personally, I'd use jQuery, which has stuff to make this a lot easier. I haven't looked at the code, but Google turns up http://www.ndesign-studio.com/blog/design/css-dock-menu/

why is your name orange?

If you click on it you'll see. I hacked the code on the server so that nickb's name is in orange today to celebrate getting 10,000 karma points.

The divine gift of a bold orange username is presented to those that reach the nirvana of 10.000 karma points.

can't wait to see what happens when nickb hits 100.000. But I'm sure it will involve fair maidens, mind-enhancing drugs and a very big cake.
