There has been such a call lately for an animated pop-up searchbar for Rapidweaver — similar to the one used in the Realmac Forums — that I have assembled a team of top boffins to work on the research and development of a Tutorial and Snippet Pack to meet those desperate needs. Although Project Secret Animated jQuery Searchbar for Rapidweaver is still under wraps in the initial stages of testing, you can crawl under the canvas and take a sneak peek at its progress here. But don't tell anyone.

If you look under the hood you'll notice a few changes. Although my initial code was inspired by Elixir Graphic's elegant Float theme I have now rewritten it from scratch using Messrs Karl Swedberg and John Chaffer's Learning jQuery 1.3 as my mentor and guide. But guess what? I still can't make it work in IE6 and IE7. Should that be news? Not in this decade. Should I even try to make it work? I'll let the fickle finger of fate pick that particular nose.

You'll also notice that I've incorporated Tobias Vogel's incredibly potent Moveparts snippet, which is a simple Javascript you can use to move elements to different parts of the page. If you haven't experimented with this script, I urge you to do so now because even if it doesn't make you a better lover it will certainly make you think you are. Meanwhile I'm working on the graphics.
