You have a form with ‘x’ number of text inputs. Eventually, you realize ‘x’ may not be enough for all users. But in the interest of keeping the page clean, you don’t want to arbitrarily continue to add these elements. What you really want to do is show a minimal amount initially, and then give the user the option of adding as many more (within reason) as that particular user might need. Why create any DOM elements that aren’t going to be used? First, you’ll want to see it in action. Let’s take a look at the code first, and then break it down. The Markup Let’s look at what’s going on, starting with the form itself: Very straightforward markup. Next up is another div that holds 2 button elements, each with a unique id attribute. That’s it for our markup. jQuery – The First Step Moving to the jQuery code itself. At it’s most basic, jQuery adheres to the principle of “find something, do something”. jQuery – Adding a New Form Element Again, we’re using method chaining.
Fullscreen Layout with Page Transitions A simple responsive layout with some fancy page transitions. The idea is to show four items initially and expand them. Some additional page transitions are added for inner items. View demo Download source Today we’d like to share an experimental responsive layout with you. All effects are done with CSS transitions and controled by applying classes with JavaScript. Please note: this only works as intended in browsers that support the respective CSS properties. The beautiful illustrations used in the works section of the demo are by talented Isaac Montemayor. Let’s take a look at some screenshots: The initial screen has the four flexible boxes. When clicking on a box, it get’s expanded to fullscreen. The view of a box that is expanded. In the works section, we add a thumbnail grid which will reveal a details panel once we click on an item. The navigation through the items has the same page transition. We hope you like this little experiment and find it inspiring!
10 jQuery Pagination Plugins jQuery pagination plugins provide an easy way to automatically seperate your information into generated hyper-linked pages, abit like a book with page numbers. The implementation can either be a) all data is loaded on 1 page and then the plugin evenly splits the data and creates the pages; or b) by passing the page number to the back-end, where the appropriate data is fetched from the database and returned in some form. When dealing with small data sets its easier to have the content readily available, but still neatly organized and easy to access. Update 25/05/2013: Added 11. 1.

Build an App With WordPress - The compulsory todo list Matt Mullenweg’s State Of The Word was very insightful into what was to come of WordPress in 2012. One thing he mentioned would be big, is be WordPress powering apps. With that in mind, there aren’t many posts around that teach you how to make an app. I thought I’d start with the compulsory “How to make a to-do list app using WordPress!” It even works across all platforms- that’s right. There is a Demo page (username: user, password: notes) where you can see and play with what we’ll be creating. A bit of Theory Many web app frameworks these days use MVC or MVVM structure. WordPress is a good starting point because it provides a plethora of APIs for us to leverage. The approach we’re going to take is simple. To bring you up to speed The focus of this tutorial isn’t to show you how to design an app, but to build it with AJAX. The starter theme I’ve put together for you is just a skeleton without any functionality. Data flow in a single page web app Let’s examine the diagram from just above.

8 Released August just got a little hotter, because jQuery 1.8 final code is here! You can pick up the code from jQuery’s CDN: As usual, the Google and Microsoft CDNs will also have the file soon. We don’t expect to get any bug reports on this release, since there have been several betas and a release candidate that everyone has had plenty of opportunities to thoroughly test. If you do find a bug, please create a test case on jsFiddle or jsbin and file a bug on our bug tracker. A Whirlwind Tour of jQuery 1.8 Let’s just recap the big changes in this release: Sizzle re-architected: jQuery’s selector engine is faster than ever, thanks to a rewrite (well, really two rewrites) by Timmy Willison. Animations re-imagined: Over time, the animation code in jQuery had become kind of messy. Automatic CSS prefixing: When you use a CSS property, in either .css() or .animate(), we’ll use the correct prefixed property (when appropriate) for that browser. What’s Been Removed The short answer is “very little”. Ajax Css
Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse with HTML5 & SVG The SVG spec has been around for a while now. Under development since 1999, the spec, or more accurately a family of specs, describes an XML-based file format for vector graphics. An SVG block defines the individual components of a vector image, such as paths, shapes, fills, strokes and other features. This provides a lightweight option for certain types of graphics that might otherwise have been created in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and then exported to a raster format. With widespread adoption of HTML5 standards, browsers are taking SVG in new directions, such as emphasizing the <svg> tag for inline SVG, using CSS for styling, and opening up the DOM so that SVG images can be created or manipulated on the client side with JavaScript. To demonstrate, this series of walkthroughs will aim to benefit humankind in two ways. Step One: Prepare Step Two: Create the SVG Element To start, create a 600×400 root element called “cityBox”: <! Voila. Step Three: Add Text Figure 1: SVG Element with
