SOP Free Holiday Upgrade

We've added 5 new features that make Slide Out Panels more usable than ever. These features are powerful enough to warrant a product upgrade, but we are making them available as a free update.

Happy Holidays!

We've added an SOP instance to this page that exhibits all 5 new features. Read about the features in the right column and launch the example to see them in action.

5 New Features and Options

The new features are noted in the interface screen capture by the green, blue, and red highlights. Some are based on user requests, while others were added because we think they will add to the product's usability and appeal.

1. Close Button: Fixed

This option is turned off by default. Enabling it will cause the close button (the "x" icon) to be fixed position and to scroll with the panel. This option is based on user feedback and addresses situations where the panel content is sufficiently long to generate a scroll bar. With this option selected, the close button will follow you down as you scroll, ensuring you can close the panel without scrolling back to its top.

2. Reset To Top

This option is turned on by default. If you scroll down the panel and then close the panel, when you reopen it, it will be rest back to the top.

3. Page Click to Close

This option is turned on by default. The open panel will close if you click or tap outside the panel onto the page.

4. Suppress Page Scroll

This option is turned off by default. Enabling it will disable page scrolling while the panel is open. The panel will still be scrollable, but the underlying page will not be scrollable until the panel is closed.

5. Show Scroll to Top Arrow

This option is turned on by default. As you scroll down the panel, an arrow will appear enabling you to quickly scroll back to the panel's top. It works similarly to our Scroll to Top widget.

The example SOP on this page has all 5 of the new options enabled.
