Slider to change the amount of the item displayed

[sdcosta]

It would be nice to have a slider somewhere on the page that you can use to change the length of the item shown to you. So if you slide it all the way to one side you will have only the titles visible and all the way to the other side will give you the entire posts. Anything between the two ends should show you the corresponding amount of the article.

This could be implementable using the CSS-overflow properties and javascript will change the length of all the articles by changing the size of the div containing the articles. It doesnt have to change the length of each div, just the properties of the higher class that the div belongs to. I am not sure if I have explained this properly. Look at the last paragraph in http://sourcelabs.com/ajb/archives/2005/08/powering_javasc.html

This will be implemented as a plugin. I think.

I had to give up the idea of using the inheritance properties of css. All browsers suck. Firefox just sucks less than the rest. Anyway the plugin is at http://plugins.gregarius.net/index.php?req=info&id=19
