Description
Estacado is a start page / speeddial for web browsers. The design was inspired by Orman Clark's latest postings .Estacado uses jQuery, CSS3 and valid XHTML. Has subtle effects, dark colors and supports newish WebKit and Gecko builds; Safari 5, Chrome and Firefox 3.6.
The package comes with instructions (Readme.txt) that explains how to add sites to it. Basically, it's just matter of writing a list of plain URLs into a text file and the script takes care of the rest.
Update 2011/03/20:
- Now multiple URLs that share the same domain can have different thumbnails. Reoccurring URLs will be suffixed with an ordinal number.
- Added font definitions for the search field and the button.
- If the browser doesn't support CSS3 gradients, solid background color is used instead.
Update 2011/02/02:
- Updated jQuery library to version 1.5.
- Changed Favicon's link element's type value to image/png.
Update 2010/11/30:
- Now keyboard navigation hooks to different event, and works on WebKit.
- Resets cordinates if the page scrolls or opens in odd location.
Update 2010/11/26:
- Fixed the small thumbnail dimensions typo in the readme, thank you informing me mattpoonani .
- Added hash/anchor URL support. Now navigating groups appends hash/anchor to the URL, and if the page is loaded with an anchor, the particular group is shown instead of the default first one. Especially good if you are creating thumbnails and want to refresh the view, or want to bookmark the groups.
- Added -ummm- better hover states to the buttons.
Update 2010/11/23:
- Added keyboard navigation. Left arrow takes to previous group and right to vice versa.

Nice clean design and easy to customize. Is there a way in the style.css to add an image background for the page or pages?

Looks very nice, but I'm looking for a way to show the name of the websites instead of thumbnails.

The buttons on the bar (Open Shown, Open All, I'm Bored).....seem to have the hover-state look as default, and the normal-state on hover. In other words, they look pressed before being hovered over, and they look raised (normal) when you hover/click.
Not so with this one, as an example:Β www.deviantart.com/art/Principβ¦

You want to run something that's made to a certain, high standard, on IE? Hahahahahaha. Oh God. You're quite the comedian.

I was originally going to run it on a washing machine but someone told me to wait for a helpful answer like yours!
I had my reasons to test it in IE....
Next time help people and don't criticize them.
I am glad that i made you laugh though!

Great job!
I felt free to do the following modification for my own usage:
main.js
- inserted line 126: "img = img.substring(0,10);"
Why?
I have adresses like www.helloworld.com
Same problem with www.helloworld.com/subfolder

How do I shift the web pages to the left instead of the center?

Really cool. But I have a problem. After I created every thumbnail for my sites and everything was done I went to bed, the next day the folder had deleted itself.. :S I put it in the firefox folder in program files.. I don't think it's something to do with your start page. Have you ever heard of this problem before?

It opens a random page from all the Websites you added !

Very nice page this is. One thing that would make this awesome is if you could use the scroll button to switch sections. Would it be possible to add this?

Fantastic, nearly perfect!
I've changed mine so that the buttons on top are centered [link] going to add in a button that makes it open random from the current page because I have a webcomics page and I'd like to be able to hit random and have it not open up anything but webcomics.
//center buttons, goes in line 49
$('body').html('

well that didn't work. [link] because DA messed up the js

It does work, but you have to replace the "p" with "div", boyh at the beggining and the end of the line, and also to insert the "center" argument at the beggining and the end.

do u possibly know how to change the background on k3ttc4's start page?? [link]
π: 0 β©: 0
could you tell me exactly how to edit it? I open up index.html and change the link to one of my choosing, but then when i open index.html in safari, it shows all the words, and not the actual page. PLEASE HELP!
π: 0 β©: 1
Make sure that you are opening index.html in editor that doesn't mess the actual markup. For instance, you can't open it in Word or in TextEdit as those are rich editors that will change the HTML. Instead it's better to open the file in a plain text editor (Notepad) or in syntax editor (Smultron, Fraise, Notepad++, Coda, or Espresso).
If you are using Mac OS I would suggest opening the file in Smultron, or Fraise, or on Windows with Notepad++. Those editors won't mess the encoding or markup.
Hope that helps

However, is it possible to delete the taskbar at the top (open show - open all - i'm bored) ?
What are the manipulations to be made?
Thanx : )

can you explain to me how to do this properly? i can't find the file to add in the links so i haven't been able to use it at all yet. I tried reading the code but I'm terrible at CSS, any help? I thought you might have to make your own but the one i made isn't being read either

Included Readme.txt explains where to add URLs. Basically just open the file in a text editor and add a list of URLs. For more detailed explanation, look at the readme file or at the index.html file.

Nevermind, you have to edit the actual html code. Now I feel silly
