  • Send Email Notifications for Broken Images Using jQuery AJAX

    It's usually best to repair broken image paths as soon as possible because they can damage a website's credibility. And even worse is having a user tell you about it. Using jQuery and PHP, you can have your page automatically notify you of broken images.

  • jQuery Countdown Plugin

    You've probably been to sites like RapidShare and MegaUpload that allow you to download files but make you wait a specified number of seconds before giving you the download link. I've created a similar script but my script allows you to animate the CSS font-size of each second and present a reward at the end.

  • jQuery Random Link Color Animations

    We all know that we can set a link's :hover color, but what if we want to add a bit more dynamism and flair? jQuery allows you to not only animate to a specified color, but also allows you to animate to a random color.

  • jQuery Link Nudging

  • Color Palette Generator Using jQuery

    As I continue to learn jQuery, I think it's important that I begin by porting over scripts I've created using MooTools. One of those scripts is my Color Palette Generator script, which debuted on Eric Wendelin's blog. For those of you that missed it, my script analyzes all of the colors on the page (minus images) and builds a palette of colors. Here it is in some jQuery goodness.

  • Thoughts on My First jQuery Experience

    Yesterday I debuted my first jQuery script/plugin: dwImageProtector. As a MooTools fanatic, I wasn't sure what to expect from this first jQuery experience. Let me share a few thoughts on the experience.

    I've always been curious about the jQuery JavaScript library. jQuery has captured the hearts of web designers and developers everywhere and I've always wondered why. I've been told it's easy, which is probably why designers were so quick to adopt it NOT that designers aren't intelligent, but designers usually have enough design stuff to worry about and if they wanted to be programmers, they would've become programmers. jQuery being easy didn't convince me to try jQuery because Moo came pretty easy to me.
