Web development blog, news and reviews - Developer Drive
jQuery is an actively-developed JavaScript library with a fairly rapid release cycle. As well as general enhancements, performance tweaks and bug fixes, new methods are frequently added to the library.

Create a jQuery Plugin For Social Networking
So I was thinking about making a jQuery plugin for a while now, and then the opportunity to guest write here showed up, and I thought I would combine the two and write a tutorial on making a jQuery plugin! This is a plugin I actually just made, it will take a few input options that are, for the most part, your usernames to various social networking sites. The plugin handles the rest; creating all the links and building a nice list, complete with matching icons to everywhere you are on the web. I thought this would be helpful to people just starting out with plugins, and make it easy for those who do not want to make sprites and pretty social lists.
jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services - Documentation
Q: What do I need to install?A: Not much. You need to put the two script files (jQuery and SPServices) into a location where all users have read permission. I recommend a Document Library in the root site of your Site Collection for easy access.
How to use Media Queries in JavaScript
Responsive design is one of the most exciting web layout concepts since CSS replaced tables. The underlying technology uses media queries to determine the viewing device type, width, height, orientation, resolution, aspect ratio, and color depth to serve different stylesheets. In the following example, cssbasic.css is served to all devices.
Essential jQuery Plugin Patterns - Smashing Coding
Advertisement I occasionally write about implementing design patterns1 in JavaScript. They’re an excellent way of building upon proven approaches to solving common development problems, and I think there’s a lot of benefit to using them. But while well-known JavaScript patterns are useful, another side of development could benefit from its own set of design patterns: jQuery plugins. The official jQuery plugin authoring guide2 offers a great starting point for getting into writing plugins and widgets, but let’s take it further.

Portamento - easy sliding/floating panels in jQuery
Portamento is a jQuery plugin that makes it simple to add sliding (aka "floating") panel functionality to your web page. All that's needed is some simple CSS and one line of JavaScript, and you're away! It works fine with floated and absolutely-positioned layouts, in all modern browsers and some not-so-modern ones too. Portamento also has sensible behaviour if the user's viewport is too small to display the whole panel, so you don't need to worry about users not being able to see your important content. Demos

jQuery QuickFlip 2 jQuery QuickFlip takes any piece of HTML markup and flips it over like a card. The effect is similar to the UI animation on the iPhone
jQuery Pagination revised - Code is Poetry
There are many nasty pagination implementations and certainly sooner or later I've also written such a cruelty. That's why I've been working on a generalized solution for long in order to combine the variety of needs that are imposed on such a navigation to finally put an end to blocks of code that are copied from one project to another with the consequence that it gets no longer understood over the time. The result of these efforts is my third jQuery plugin that has another big advantage over server side pagination; by generating the links virtually on the client, the risk of duplicate content drops and the need of ugly follow, noindex link attributes left unnecessary. The pagination plugin also combines a varity of features.
11 Javascript Plugins Optimized for Mobile Devices (With QRCode for Quick View!)
The popularity of mobile devices has increased dramatically within these few years. We have responsive website that transform itself to different screen size and now we have a bunch of javascript plugins built and optimized for mobile as well. When I was searching for resources, I was having this issue that, whenever I want to view it in my mobile, I need to type the URL manually! I got this inspiration from Cubiq (one of the cool mobile optimized plugin developers), they use QRCode for the demo link, and I just have to scan it with my mobile phone!
For Your Script Loading Needs
As JavaScript usage has skyrocketed over the last few years, so has the sheer number of scripts that are being loaded in an average web page. With these script tags comes a lot of baggage, such as blocking and lack of dependency management. Today, I'd like to bring your attention to a number of JavaScript loaders, which are mini toolkits that significantly simplify how you add and load scripts. The Problem with Simple Script Tags
QR Code generator JQuery plugin
Hi everyone! Google has cool charts API that allows you to easy have chart on your page, so I decided to create a simple JQuery plugin to work with one of them :) I have HTC phone and sometimes I'm toooooooooooooo lazy to type in an address (with a lot of slashes, dashes, dots and other parameters) which I see on my PC monitor, so QR Code is really good thing that allows to simply generate an image and open this page on my mobile. Now the code: 1. You may need is an HTML element on page which will contain generated image, something like:<span class="qrContainer"></span>
