jBar is a simple and lightweight jQuery notification bar that’s been revisited and rewritten (18.11.2012) as an official plugin, which serves up loads of easy customisable options. The jBar allows you to create a simple call to action and bring it forward for the user to see at the top of your website. The user can then toggle the visibility of the bar by clicking the ribbon.
Overview
jBar was created to provide a lightweight plugin to replace the restrictions provided by Hellobar and allow easy implementation and customisation for you or your client’s websites. Hellobar you also have to pay for if you want an unbranded version, which is no fun. There’s nothing like full control over your code.
Features
The jBar sits at the top of your website, and is fully customisable.
The rest of the options are up to you:
type: fixed – Two options for the jBar, fixed or static positioning. Fixed is always there when scrolling, and static remains at the top at all times.
delay: 1000 – In milliseconds, change to anything you like.
backgroundColor: #DB5903 – Use a HEX colour here, use any you like. This is the background colour for the jBar and also the ribbon, so the two match up.
borderColor: #FFF – Use a HEX colour here too, change the border colour to suit your website.
