Re: A Responsive Single Page App (SPA) with 3 Issues to Consider

My example was written without a code generator.

I understand the point about being responsive and was clear that what I was showing was only a starting point.

I just went back and looked at Nathan's example. I had had my pane too narrow and the menubar was not visible. I see it is set to nowrap and uses a 3-bar button on the upper right corner when too narrow. Since a hover didn't drop the menu or display a tooltip, I didn't pick up on that element being a clickable image - it looked like a part of the blue bar background image.

The severe design limitation I see with a fully responsive solution is that the site design is severely limited if there is going to be a one-solution-everywhere requirement. This, to me, is a designer issue, not a programmer issue.

As to JQuery... I have no issues with that as a tooling solution.

I agree with Nathan here. I don't see any comparison with your example.
Was it generated by a WYSIWG tool?

How is using jQuery like building a typewriter?

It has some cool gradients, but is otherwise non-functional.

I understand the concept being pursued but it seems to me that ignoring
the simple tools that are available to us is kind of like writing an

essay

on world peace where the first step is to build a typewriter.

Again, without you showing us something that is functional, it is hard to
compare. You may have a point; a simpler menu perhaps. But it's not readily
apparent.
