Jiten... there is a link. It goes to
http://designerdome.igotfree.com/test/jarx.htm.

Baddu19... if you like the site, buy their product. That's what they're
selling. However be a little bit careful about "Professional" developers who
can't even spell correctly on their product advertising page.

Alternately, open the page in source view and take a look at what they have
done. Save it as a web page and look at it inside Dreamweaver. Examine the
code. Take parts out and look at it in separate pages. You can ?reverse
engineer? the page and begin to understand what they are doing. Look up
keywords or phrases from the code on Google and you will find dozens of
tutorials about almost every subject.

The best way to learn is to explore, make mistakes, ask questions that are
specific and try new things.

"JARX is unique in the fact that a small amount of space is utilized to
display a sufficiently large amount of information and data."

(The use of "sufficiently large" in this context is interesting. I can't
help but feel what it means is "enough text so that it won't fit in the
little space alloted for it so we can show off our scroller widget.")

This, alas, is not in fact a unique design concept, but, in my opinion,
a foolish one. That little page sits in the upper left corner of my
window, and I have to use non-standard GUI elements to see all of the
content, which, if simply placed on the page, would fit perfectly well.
In a smaller window I might have to scroll vertically, but I have to do
that on many sites and it doesn't bother me, I would be using a
scrollbar I already know how to use, and there would be just one
scrollbar, not three non-standard ones.

Do you enjoy the experience of eating a meal on an airplane? You know,
where you have to keep your elbows at you sides since you don't have
enough room to use you arms in a natural position? And where you have to
keep moving things around on the the tray since there really isn't
enough room? You wouldn't have these problems if there were a decent
amount of surface to eat on.

Using this page feels like that, except there is enough room and they
didn't use it. They just arbitrarily constrained the space so that you
*had* to use their scroller to see everything. If you went to an
expensive restaurant you would never accept the sort of spatial
limitations you endure on an airplane. Why should your site's viewers
endure similar limitations, especially when they are unnecessary? I hope
it's not just so you can show off that you have learned a new trick.

That's not a very good site to emulate.

They're actually offering that particular one for free.

However: my understanding of the licensing of products from Project
Seven is that you cannot use those products in templates you are
selling/giving away.

Run. Fast and far.
