An Open Source (customizable) JavaScript Emulation of Dock style MAC OS X bar

Live Demo

[on-Line Examples] euDock

Introduction

euDock is a JavaScript emulation of the Dock style MAC OS X bar.
It uses PNG, GIF, JPG (or other Web type) images, objects and transformation functions. PNG images in Internet Explorer are supported.

Using the Code

euDock has a lot of features described in the tutorial.

In the following code, I show the basic configuration of euDock bar.

Place the following inside your <HEAD></HEAD> HTML tag:

<HEAD>
   <script language="JavaScript1.3" src="js/euDock.2.0.js"></script>
   <script language="JavaScript1.3" src="js/euDock.Image.js"></script>
</HEAD>

Later, place everywhere:

<script>
   euEnv.imageBasePath="js/";

   var dock = new euDock();
   
   dock.setBar({
        left      :{euImage:{image:"barImages/dockBg-l.png"}},
        horizontal:{euImage:{image:"barImages/dockBg-c-o.gif"}},
        right     :{euImage:{image:"barImages/dockBg-r.png"}}
       });
   
   dock.setIconsOffset(2);
           
   dock.addIcon(new Array({euImage:{image:"iconsEuDock/cube.png"}}),
                {link:"http://www.codeproject.com"});
   dock.addIcon(new Array({euImage:{image:"iconsEuDock/cube.png"}}),
                {link:"http://www.codeproject.com"});
   dock.addIcon(new Array({euImage:{image:"iconsEuDock/cube.png"}}),
                {link:"http://www.codeproject.com"});
   dock.addIcon(new Array({euImage:{image:"iconsEuDock/cube.png"}}),
                {link:"http://www.codeproject.com"});
   dock.addIcon(new Array({euImage:{image:"iconsEuDock/cube.png"}}),
                {link:"http://eudock.jules.it"});
   dock.addIcon(new Array({euImage:{image:"iconsEuDock/cube.png"}}),
                {link:"http://eudock.jules.it"});
   dock.addIcon(new Array({euImage:{image:"iconsEuDock/cube.png"}}),
                {link:"http://eudock.jules.it"});
   dock.addIcon(new Array({euImage:{image:"iconsEuDock/cube.png"}}),
                {link:"http://eudock.jules.it"});
</script>

I suggest you download the tutorial/demos and take a look at the features. I can't explain everything here.
