Extending Twitter Bootstrap Typeahead Plugin | redlab-log Update: also read this post In twitter bootstrap there is a JQuery plugin for auto completion. It’s called bootstrap-typeahaed. Typeahead uses an array of strings as datasource and is easily activated with in it’s simplest form 1 line of code. It’s very easy to use but somewhat limited. Our use case: 2 inputboxes, one for postal code (the numeric form) and one inputbox for the community that has that postal code.In Belgium different communities can have the same postal code, and the right community should be selected on selecting a postal code. The typeahead plugin is not suited for that. We wanted to use typeahead instead of any other existing JQuery plugin since we’re already using twitter bootstrap. To achieve this I extended, (actually more copied and altered) typeahead. View a demo Read on for a usage example Considering the example of the cities and postalcodes the javascript would be like for the postalcode inputbox and for the citynames inputbox.

www.jarallax.com/demo3/ Jump to progress the Jarallax.jumpToProgress method allows the user to animate the Jarallax animation to a position in the animation. This is a very handy method for navigation. To see it in action press one of the navigation buttons on top of the page. Example jarallax.jumpToProgress( 20, 2000, 30); In this example Jarallax animates to position 20 over 2000 milliseconds with 24 frames a second. Smooth scrollbar Some browsers smooth out the scrollbar when it is moved (like safari). Enabling the smoothed scrollbar will animate the current progress of the Jarallax animation to the scrollbar position. Example: var jarallax = new Jarallax(new ControllerScroll(true)); Clone animations In earlier versions of Jarallax every animation needs to be defined. When defining an animation with the addAnimation method, an animation sequence is returned. The first argument expects a selector, the second an object or array with the key modifications.

jquery-complexify Websites have a responsibility to users to accurately tell them how good a password is, and this is not an easy job. If your password is 8 characters long and only formed of lower case characters, you need to make it better, perhaps by adding a number or more characters. If your password is 25 characters long but happens to not contain a number, you shouldn't be forced by a password security policy to add one, you clearly have a very secure password. Complexify aims to provide a good measure of password complexity for websites to use both for giving hints to users in the form of strength bars, and for casually enforcing a minimum complexity for security reasons. Note: I use the term 'casually' because this is only client-side validation and anyone could turn it off. I recommend implementing a minimum length check server-side as well. Complexity Rating Unicode Complexify supports Unicode and will add appropriate complexity for the size of character set included in a password. Try it out:

CSS3 Responsive Slider / Carousel Using Radio Buttons Select catcher Created by Ian Hansson (@teapoted) Art from Brendan Zabarauskas (@bjzaba_). Icons from the iconSweets set. Browser Support: Best In Test: Firefox (transition performance) Full Support: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari (latest versions of all browsers) Partial Support: IE9 (Functional, but does not support transitions) *No JavaScript Functionality (1 compatability fix though) iOS devices don't handle labels properly. You can view this page without the js iOS fix here. How Does It Work? The actual slider is much like any JavaScript slider. To save our input we are using radio buttons. We put the radio buttons at the top so when they are :checked we can use a general sibling selectors (~) to change our slider. That is all the essential CSS, the other gaff is just styling and animation. Created by Ian Hansson (@teapoted), Feb 2012.

34 Responsive Grid System Code smells in CSS 20 November, 2012 Chris Coyier recently answered someone’s question: How can you tell if your CSS code smells? What are the signs that the code is sub-optional, or that the developer hasn’t done a good job? What do you look for in the code to determine how good or bad it is? I thought I would extend Chris’ great answer with my own, additional take on things… My day-to-day life is spent working in-house at BSkyB… I work on big websites, the last of which took me over a year to build the front-end for (and it’s still ongoing). I’m going to share just a few things (there will, no doubt, be things that I have missed) that I look out for in CSS that will give you and idea as to its quality, its maintainability and its integrity… Undoing styles Any CSS that unsets styles (apart from in a reset) should start ringing alarm bells right away. Any CSS declarations like these: border-bottom:none; padding:0; float:none; margin-left:0; …are typically bad news. Magic numbers Qualified selectors Brute forcing ! !
