This Week in jQuery, vol. 6

Posted on by

Another week, another collection of links to some of the most interesting and exciting new jQuery happenings around the web.

One of the most interesting happenings this week was the release of Glimmer. Glimmer allows you to easily create interactive elements on your web pages by harnessing the power of the jQuery library. Without having to hand-craft your JavaScript code, you can use Glimmer’s wizards to generate jQuery scripts for common interactive scenarios. Glimmer also has an advanced mode, providing a design surface for creating jQuery effects based on your existing HTML and CSS.

Also worth mentioning is the great new facelift given to the jQuery for Designers site from Remy Sharp.

And if you haven’t notice Wrox has released a new book, Beginning JavaScript and CSS Development with jQuery. A review of the book is forthcoming.

Pulled from my own personal archives. I bring you, the Query ListNav Plugin from iHwy, Inc.. You may or may not have missed this plugin, but regardless, it’s certainly worth a first look, or second.

Tools Released this Week

Howie Weiner, in addition to his 960.gs grid overlay plugin, is now providing a bookmarklet version.

And the typical “Best of…” from this week

jQuery Gossip/Rumor Mill

Word on the street is that O’Reilly has in the works a jQuery cookbook authored and edited by several core team members. Additionally, I’m hearing whispers of another cookbook specifically tailored for jQuery Designers.

And remember, for up to the minute jQuery happenings, you can follow the official jQuery twitter profiles jquery, jqueryui, and jquerysites.

    Glimmer，微光？据说jQuery 1.3.3的时候，将增加很多新功能，这个Glimmer就是其中之一吗？

    Glimmer — And just to *watch the video* on the first page, I’ve got to install Microsoft’s proprietary Silverlight which doesn’t even work well on my platform (Linux) — no Glimmer for me, thank you.

    To Andy:o(∩_∩)o…哈哈，微软的Silverlight无法在Linux上显示的，也无法在FF、谷歌浏览器显示。微软就是微软，就像asp、asp.net那样，只能在微软的操作系统微软的浏览器上显示。
