jQuery Workshop – Input Needed

Monday, May 18th, 2009 | By: Justin Kozuch

Given the popularity of the jQuery/Prototype gathering we curated back in January ‘09, we are currently putting together a jQuery workshop for later this summer.

However, to get a sense of what people are interested in, we have started a poll to gain your insight into your 9-5, your exposure level to JavaScript, and what this workshop will look like.

Please fill out the poll and let us know what’s on your mind!

10 jQuery Plugins Every Developer Can’t Live Without

Monday, March 16th, 2009 | By: Justin Kozuch

jQuery is one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks in use today; since it’s release over 3 years ago, it has grown from a small following of die-hards to one that is being used by the likes of Google, NASA and Bank of America.

The strength of jQuery lies not within its popularity (although one could say that it is as successful as it because of the sheer number of advocates it has), but because of its extensibility and the number of plugins that are available to designers and developers.

Implementing Flash with JavaScript

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 | By: Justin Kozuch

If you’ve ever worked with Flash and HTML (and who hasn’t?), we’ve all come to a point where we need to embed a Flash movie into an HTML page. This is usually the same point where you cringe, especially if you need to validate your HTML/XHTML (and you should!). Embedding Flash can result in an ugly mess of code like this one:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
   codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
   width="550" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="mymovie.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="mymovie.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550"
   height="400" name="mymovie" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
   type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
