Another popular DOM/CSS/Javascript project popped up today: Greybox. It’s a lot like the popular lightbox, but is used to display web sites on top of your current page.
I saw this as another great opportunity to demonstrate how easy it is to make great code with jQuery. I modified greybox in two phases.

Another CSS/Javascript article is making the rounds today called: Width-Based Layout. The premise is that the page auto-resizes the width based upon how wide your browser is. Included with the post is a 38 line piece of Javascript (and I’m being generous) to get the job done. I’m going to save you the break-down of […]

Cody Lindley contacted me today to let me know about his views on jQuery – and a new jQuery demo page. If you’re looking for more examples of what jQuery code looks like, and some of the neat effects that it can do, you should definitely check it out. I’ve added a link to his […]

Sorry for the brief outage today – apparently a couple of my domains have been getting a huge amount of spam lately (in the multi-gigabyte range) which caused the disk space to run out in this particular partition. If you notice any other weird SQL errors, or such, be sure to let me know.
