Jaxs Pro

The first ever Ajax Theme for RapidWeaver...

page7_1 page7_2

When Ajax Mode is on, content pages are dynamically loaded into the container, and animate into each other, without ever requiring a page reload.
This cuts server calls, cuts bandwidth, cuts down user wait time, and it gives an insanely smooth UI experience.
It. Is. Awesome.
Of course, when AJAX mode is off, its just a normal (stunning) RapidWeaver theme. You can learn more about turning ajax on and off on the learning center.

Built into the Nav bar (which is effectively the 2nd sidebar) is a search field. But its not just any old search bar.... it’s one of safari’s pretty rounded search fields. And thanks to a JS and CSS trick, it remains a beautiful rounded search field, even Firefox, Opera, and IE 6
Just because they aren’t using safari, doesn’t mean they can’t have beautiful design!
The theme includes snippets for Google Search, Yahoo Search, and for RapidSearch

The single page set-up opens up some quite exciting possibilties...The theme comes with a built in MP3 player, and snippets to configure it just how you like, with your own mp3s. (Or, you can always turn it off :)

NEW - Built in AJAX compatible LightBox

The lightbox is highly customizable, and works even when content is loaded via ajax. You can not only use the lightbox to view pictures, but also inline content, such as contact forms, or flash video from youtube or similar sites.
To learn more, head over to the learning center.

NEW - Internal Ajax Links

Now users can define their own ajax links from right within their content. Simply by adding a class of ‘ajaxinternal’ to the in rapiweavers custom attributes box, that link will be added to the ajax flow, and the page being linked to will load in ajax mode!

Transparent Pop Menu

The theme supports 2nd and 3rd level navigation through the stunning, semi transparent pop-down menu. (It’s even stunning in IE6)

Free header images

The theme ships with 6 free ribbon header images, and the snazzy grid header image you can see above

Tons of background images

The theme features stunning tiled designed wallpaper, to give your site a stunning design element to compliment its effects.

Full Customization support

The theme also has room for 5 custom headers, 5 custom body backgrounds, and fully support RWMultiTool, and RWThemeMiner

Simplicity

Inspite of its ‘single page’ setup, you work in RapidWeaver in your normal way, you can still also link to individual pages of your site (a very important feature), and best of all, because you create each page seperately, and then load them in, google will index every page as if you were running a boring old website!!

Functionality

Again, inspite of its ‘single page’ setup, to maintain usability standards, the browser back button functionality has been painstakingly re-instated, so the flow of a web users experience is not interuppted, but merely enhanced.

IE .png Fix Built In

I have built in an IE .png transparency fix, so that you don’t have to worry about your pretty images becoming grey splodges in that horrid browser. Your site can also have a pixel perfect IE version!
