Short examples of jQTouch and chain.js at dante.cassanego.net March 1st, 2010 by Dante Recently, I got back on track with the RIA meetup and put together a brief overview of two jQuery libraries that I have found useful recently: jQTouch and chain.js. I’d like to briefly recap that session here and post the code that I wrote to demonstrate how they work. I’d like to thank and acknowledge David Kaneda and Rizqi Ahmad, the authors of these two libraries, for sharing their insightful work with the world. Let’s begin with a quick overview: jQTouch What: A jQuery library (more like a framework actually) that provides tools that will make an HTML/JS/CSS app look and feel more like a native iphone applicationKey Advantages Provides a set of stylesheets that make extensive use of the safari-specific classes. Chain.js What: jQuery library that binds a javascript array to an HTML template. And now, let’s turn our attention to three very simple example files that I’ve included that demonstrate how to use these libraries. Example 1 – Hello, jQTouch World
Zepto.js: the aerogel-weight jQuery-compatible JavaScript library Enabling the Back Button | jQuery for Designers - Tutorials and Watch Watch Enabling the Back Button screencast (Alternative flash version) QuickTime version is approximately 50Mb, flash version is streaming. View the demo used in the screencast The Problem Using our original jQuery tabs solution, we have a tabbing system that you can click the tabs and different content loads. We want to fix this, so that I can navigate the tabs using the browsers native back and forward buttons. “Cowboy” Ben Alman’s BBQ Ben wrote a jQuery plugin called BBQ. Now, in retrospect, I think that I only need Ben’s hashchange plugin as that’s all I ended up using in the screencast, but none the less, they’re both worth checking out. Now armed with Ben’s plugin, we’re going to refactor the tab code so that the back button works. Solution The way the existing tabs work is as follows: #1. This process was our original code, and most of it needs to stay in place. So we listen for the hashchange event, just like we might listen for a click event: $('a[hash=#first]') jQuery
Fantastic Micro-Frameworks and Micro-Libraries for Fun and Profit! Build a Simple Image Slideshow with jQuery Cycle - Namoroka Image slideshows are a popular method of displaying numerous sequential photographs in web design. By making use of the handy Cycle plugin for jQuery, we can easily create a slideshow of our own, complete with previous and next navigation controls. Not a master of Javascript? Don’t worry, the Cycle plugin makes it a breeze to add slideshow functionality to your site, with only a few lines of code required to get things up and running. It’s my goal to one day own a Harley Davidson Sportster, but until that dream day comes, I’ll have to settle with drooling over a bunch of photos. View the demo Create a new Photoshop document and fill the background with a rough and grungey texture. Use a series of tape brushes to create a rough border to house the photography. Draw a rectangle and fill with a temporary colour. Switch over to Adobe Illustrator to quickly draw a navigation arrow. Draw a black circle back in Photoshop, then paste the arrow from Illustrator. <! Get all that?
