• Try It Out!   
    • Try moving your mouse over the bar.
    • Try clicking and dragging across the buttons.
    • Try clicking on a button, but dragging away before you let go.
    • Just play around!

(Sorry, but Java must be enabled to see and use ActionBars)

  • You will find the bar behaves nicely in all cases. In an actual site, each button would typically load a different page or section of your web site.

    The tabbed bar on the left side of this page is another ActionBar. You used it to get here!

    A slick feature built into ActionBars is the ability to bind your content pages to a button on the bar by using "BackHandlers" (provided). When you add BackHandlers to your pages it doesn't matter how the user arrives on a page, the ActionBar will always correctly and automatically select the button associated with that page.

  • Sample Mini-Sites

These are small, fictional sample sites to give you a flavor of how ActionBars can be used.
  • Audible Audio - Demonstrates embedding an ActionBar within bitmap images.
  • Containers.com - Demonstrates correct frame alignment.
  • HOT Salsa - Shows "live buttons" in a frame at the bottom of the page.
