Hello Everyone:
I am designing an Intranet site for a client. What she wants is a clippy like mascot (except the character will look like a smiley face with a baseball hat) that will bounce around the page showing 'what's new'
SO, if there's a new news article when the user enters the page, the smiley face will be bouncing up and down next to it with a bubble saying 'NEW!!!'. If the user needs help, he/she can click on it and select the appropriate HELP topic from a list that will pop up once the smiley is clicked.
I told my client I will research this as I have NO IDEA where to begin. I found this page: http://components.developers4web.com/merlin-web-mascot
http://components.developers4web.com/merlin-web-mascot
(it only works in IE). It's very similar to what I need to do but how? Do I use FLASH? Do I Use CSS? ANy help in the right direction would be very helpful.
