David Walsh on NetTuts: Create a Twitter-Like “Load More” Widget
My latest article post for NetTuts has been published. From the intro:
Both Twitter and the Apple App Store use a brilliant technique for loading more information; you click the link and fresh items magically appear on the screen. This tutorial teaches you to use AJAX, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, PHP, and HTML to create that magic. This tutorial will also feature both jQuery and MooTools versions of the script.
It was fun creating the widget using both MooTools and jQuery JavaScript. Be sure to check it out!
![Write Simple, Elegant and Maintainable Media Queries with Sass]()
I spent a few months experimenting with different approaches for writing simple, elegant and maintainable media queries with Sass. Each solution had something that I really liked, but I couldn't find one that covered everything I needed to do, so I ventured into creating my...
![CSS 3D Folding Animation]()
Google Plus provides loads of inspiration for front-end developers, especially when it comes to the CSS and JavaScript wonders they create. Last year I duplicated their incredible PhotoStack effect with both MooTools and pure CSS; this time I'm going to duplicate...

The HTML5 revolution has provided us some awesome JavaScript and HTML APIs. Some are APIs we knew we've needed for years, others are cutting edge mobile and desktop helpers. Regardless of API strength or purpose, anything to help us better do our job is a...
![spellcheck Attribute]()
Many useful attributes have been provided to web developers recently: download, placeholder, autofocus, and more. One helpful older attribute is the spellcheck attribute which allows developers to control an elements ability to be spell checked or subject to grammar checks. Simple enough, right?
i’ve been there in nettuts and i saw your tuts. Your such a brilliant man! thanks keep on shinning!
Nice to see you on nettuts !
Great article btw. Can’t wait to try this out :)
p.s: Is it possible that you forgot the normal css3 border-radius property on #posts-container ? Or maybe it was your intention to use specific webkit and mozilla properties ?
Add to #load-more its parent radius (
-webkit-border-radius:10px; -moz-border-radius:10px;) (css border inherit with border-color change will not work properly as it will require more changes & more code).I’m always lazy reading such large articles, especially from nettus, but I suppose you explain it nice…
wow, don’t you ever sleep? where do you get the time for 2 nice tutorials per day? Thanks this was interesting…

Oh this is very great! Nice and clean!
Really enjoyed your article David, your skills continue to impress.
Hi, brilliant tutorial, I’m newbie with php & mysql but this type and quality of article push me to learn more.
Can you please show us how we can implement this in wordpress.
Great article … but would love to see it fully implemented in wordpress.
Now I’ve been trying for quite some time to implement this into my WordPress installation, but I’ve failed.
Then I saw a link to someone who customized it to work with WordPress SQL functions, but that didn’t work either.
So I would love to see a really thorough tutorial and/or description of how to implement this into WordPress. Maybe even how to make it into a easy plugin.
I believe a lot of people are looking for this functionality in WordPress – would be great!
