Suriya in '3 Idiots' Tamil re-make?

Aamir Khan-starrer '3 Idiots' is already scorching the box office throughout the country by earning Rs. 240 cr. in 10 days.

We had it recently that Gemini Film Circuit has struck a deal with its producers and bought the remake rights of the film for Rs. 10 cr.

Now, news is that the Tamil version will have Suriya acting in the role that had Aamir Khan in the original.
The film is set in an IIT campus, where the protagonist plays an engineering student.

Presently mired in a controversy with author Chetan Bhagat, the film comes with a hard-hitting message, even while taking a nip at the present-day education system.

What to say? Aamir enacted the role of Suriya in 'Ghajini' and tasted success, now its time for Suriya to take up Aamir’s role...

However, no official confirmation about it came forth. Let’s play the waiting game until we hear more about the ‘3 idiots’ who will rock the South.

"Endhiran' is almost complete. 90 percent of the shooting is over

Director Shankar, who has been tight-lipped so far about his action-packed sci-fi Tamil film "Endhiran" starring superstar Rajnikant and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai, reveals that the movie is almost finished and has lots of surprises in store for the audience.

"Endhiran' is almost complete. 90 percent of the shooting is over," Shankar wrote on his blog www.directorshankaronline.com.

"I have just finished the action sequences of the film 'Endhiran' in Pune and Lonawala. both the leading artists of the film were present during the shooting," he wrote.

Shankar has also uploaded some of the stills of the film on his blog. This is said to be the first official release of the stills of the movie.

A year ago some pictures taken surreptitiously during the shooting of a song in Peru in South America were released and Shankar had protested, saying it was a pirated work.

Shankar launched the blog Jan 1 in a bid to interact with his fans.

CSS Design: Taming Lists

What has changed is how I think about CSS, and the underlying structure of (X)HTML to which it is applied. For example, I find that most pages on the web contain a menu of links in a navigation area. These are often marked up as a string of links, often in separate DIVs or paragraphs. Structurally, however, they are a list of links, and should be marked up as such.

Of course the reason that we don’t mark them up in that way is that we don’t want a bullet in front of every link in our navigation area. In a previous article I outlined several techniques for using CSS to layout a web page. One of those techniques involved manipulating a list to display horizontally rather than vertically.

In this article, I'll demonstrate how to use CSS to bring unwieldy lists under control. It’s time for you to tell lists how to behave, instead of letting them run wild on your web page.
Setting the stage

For purposes of this article, I am using unordered lists. The same CSS can be applied, with similar results, to ordered lists as well. Unless otherwise defined, all of the examples in this article use the following code for the lists.

Create a multilevel Dropdown menu with CSS and improve it via jQuery

Some of you might have noticed, I have a partiality for sleek menus. As I recently had to create a multi level dropdown menu for one of my customers, I wanted to improve it with a little bit of jQuery, but couldn't find a script that accomplished what I needed.

So I decided to build this menu from scratch and share my thoughts as well as the code with you.

So before we start: this is what we are going to build


The first part of this tutorial is dedicated to the task of building a working CSS-only dropdown menu (also known as suckerfish menu), the second part will show you how you can pimp the whole thing with a few lines of jQuery.
