Per a request and for a little bit of fun, I created a flat ajax calendar with jQuery and Visual Foxpro for use with the Web Connection framework. This demo allows you to load a calendar and it’s navigation via ajax and edit events without time consuming page reloads.
You can add an event to each [...]

Here is my current list of must have jQuery plugins as of July 2008. I don’t start a project without the latest version of these plugins in my javascript directory.

BlockUI from Mike Alsup is awesome, this is just a little lighter and less code for relatively simple dialogs.

The Weblog Tools Collections made a list of people in the Wordpress community that it recommends you follow on Twitter. I haven’t seen this anywhere else, so I thought I’d compile a list of jQuery-centric people that you should follow on Twitter in no particular order…

I’ve played with a lot of jQuery demos lately and the stuff that people are coming out with is just awesome.
Check these two out:
Toaster
Slider
Don’t forget that jQuery UI 1.5 is out now with themes support and that the latest jQuery (1.2.6) is getting rave reviews for speed and stability.

Sean Catchpole recently updated his idTabs plugin. I wrote about version 1 some time ago, but haven’t really looked at it since. Come to think of it, I should have subscribed to his RSS feed…done.

Rick Strahl has been doing some great posts about jQuery on his blog. Yesterday he posted about an excellent resource, ajaxload.info, for creating ajax activity indicators. The second jQuery example that I’d like to share concerns how to display those images on each ajax call. Here is the relevant jQuery code:

I’m working on putting some of my most often used jQuery snippets onto SKFox.com. Here is my first such attempt. Table striping makes data easier to read and jQuery has some great selectors for this.
$(”table.zebra thead > tr:first-child()”).addClass(”zSelected”);

$(”table.zebra tbody > tr:nth-child(even)”).addClass(”zEven”);
Be sure to check out the table striping demo page and [...]

Introduction
As a longtime jQuery user I was excited to take some time to read and review two new jQuery books. Packt Publishing provided me free copies of Learning jQuery and the jQuery Reference Guide. I spent most of October reading through them and making the most of my first book review experience. In short, these [...]

…or ‘the web as an application’.
Creating a distractionless environment is getting harder with the latest browsers. When creating or browsing normal web pages, I would hate it if a site stripped my browser.
