#Fort.js

Modern progress bar for form completion. All you do is add the form and Fort.js' algorithm will take care of the rest. Best of all, it's super small.

##Usage Using Fort is so simple, it's simple. All you do is insert fort.min.js and fort.min.css into the <head> then pop in an <input> into <div class="top">. Anything outside of the <div> won't count. Now you just call the effect (Scroll down to the the "Effects" section for more). Yep, that's all there is to it. Fort does the rest.

<head>
  <script src="fort.min.js"></script>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="fort.min.css">
</head>
<body>
  <script>
  flash()
  </script>
</body>

Think the progress bar speed is too slow or too fast? No worries. In the stylesheet just change the speed to your desired liking.

transition: all 1s;

Additionally if you prefer the bottom rather the top, just change top: 0; to bottom: 0; in the stylesheet.

Want to change the height? Open the stylesheet and change height: 4px; to your liking.

Certain fields:

If you want to include only certain fields add a class named ignore to the field. Fort will not detect the field after you do so. ##Effects

Changing the colors:

  • Default - Fire up the stylesheet and simply change it with background.

  • Gradient - Open the stylesheet and look for background located in the .top selector.

  • Sections - You'll need to find sections() in the script. Then you'll see an array named cols. Note that the colors are declared twice, this is to give it a crisp look.

  • Flash - Crack open the script and look for flash() then edit the variable cols with your desired colors.
