Button Maker Masked Input Plugin First, include the jQuery and masked input javascript files. Next, call the mask function for those items you wish to have masked. Optionally, if you are not satisfied with the underscore ('_') character as a placeholder, you may pass an optional argument to the maskedinput method. Optionally, if you would like to execute a function once the mask has been completed, you can specify that function as an optional argument to the maskedinput method. You can now supply your own mask definitions. jQuery(function($){ $.mask.definitions['~']='[+-]'; $("#eyescript").mask("~9.99 ~9.99 999");}); You can have part of your mask be optional. jQuery(function($){ $("#phone").mask("(999) 999-9999? If your requirements aren't met by the predefined placeholders, you can always add your own. jQuery(function($){ $("#phone").mask("#hhhhhh");}); By design, this plugin will reject input which doesn't complete the mask.

Control.Tabs : Unobtrusive CSS tabs for Prototype Unobtrusive CSS tabs for Prototype. Introduction & Examples Control.Tabs attaches creates a tabbed interface from an unordered list of links/anchors that point to any elements on your page that have an id attribute. Since it attaches these behaviors to HTML that already has semantic meaning, it will degrade gracefully for browsers that do not support JavaScript, and is search engine friendly. It attaches in one line of code for simple use cases, but is highly customizable and can be used in a variety of edge cases. This is the simplest example of a set of tabs. Note that the styling for the tabs is done with CSS, not the Control.Tabs script. This example demonstrates scripting a Control.Tabs instance. Control.Tabs is fully programmable, so in the example above the links are programmed to change which tab is active, and an event handler is registered to change the select box (and visa versa). <! JavaScript Note that this example doesn't have an style information. More Usage Examples
Create apple.com-like breadcrumb using simple CSS I believe you all know what breadcrumbs are. If I would have to make a simplest, rough definition I could say it is a navigation pattern that shows a path from the home page to the current one. If you are still unsure what breadcrumbs are (or my “definition” is too rough) be sure to read Breadcrumbs pattern explanation on Welie.com In its simplest form it usually looks like this: You are here: Home > Sample page 1 > Sample page 2 > Current page But we are going to enhance this simple form and to create a breadcrumb that is similar to the one on apple.com. Let’s create something that looks like this As you can see on the screenshot above, breadcrumb has a soft gray gradient and a separator that looks like a right arrow. So what would be the best way to create a breadcrumb? In the example above we have unordered list that has four list items. If you try to see this example in a browser you would see a simple bulleted list. First we’ll style UL element: Believe it or not that’s all. Conclusion

Frontpage Slideshow Run away, run far far away This module is tied to a commercial product, is unsupported, is poorly implemented, lacks modern features, and is poorly documented. First, it requires a third party, commercial Javascript library ($28). Second, it's not maintained at all. Third, it's implementation in Drupal is not as strong as it could be. Fourth, it has no support for Imagecache. Finally, I can find no online documentation and only a partially written README.txt file which keeps referring to FCKeditor. There are many better alternatives out there. Review by MatteusX [info] on August 11, 2010 - 14:53 Needs a lot of work to get usable. Tried this module to no avail. Review by mxa055 [info] on December 15, 2009 - 11:21 Not ready at least when you have a multilingual site. Potentially this could be a killer module because it ports the very nice joomla slideshow and seems to be really easy to configure (if it will work as advertised anytime in the future).
