This Week in jQuery, vol. 5

Posted on by

Sorry about the unplanned hiatus last week. Not sure how long I’m going to be able to sustain this, but here we go again with another weekly roundup of jQuery news…

jQuery + Server-Side Solutions

A common complaint in the earlier days of jQuery was that there wasn’t enough information on how to integrate jQuery with server-side languages (or frameworks), so it’s nice to see a proliferation of tutorials in this area. Here are a few of the recent ones:

Plugins

Fun Stuff

Chris Barr used jQuery to create a fun little game, Guessr: Guess the Flickr Tag, which also takes advantage of the jQuery UI ThemeRoller.

Don’t forget to check out This Week in jQuery UI, vol. 6.

  1. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just use Flot? It’s not that difficult and jqPlot lacks features. Am I missing something? What is jqPlot buying you?

  2. If you feel you don’t have time to do weekly wrap ups, once in a month is more than enough. appreciate the time you take.

    i found a error on your website ,please to correct.
    the error url is: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.7.1/Dialog

    closeOnEscapeType: Boolean Default: true Specifies whether the dialog should close when it has focus and the user presses the esacpe (ESC) key.

    escape not “esacpe”,please to correct your error at once… …

    i give you another suggestion,your documents should more language,such as chinese … my english very poor ,read that very difficult to me …

  4. Karl– I’ve really enjoyed reading This Week In JQuery and I always look forward to the latest one. Perhaps you could alternate weeks between jquery and jquery-ui, so that each update only needs to happen every 2 weeks.

  5. Andreas, Dan, and Jeoff,
    Thanks for the encouragement, and I’m glad you like these posts. I hope I didn’t sound like I was complaining. Jeoff, an alternating, once-every-2-weeks post makes sense to me. We might have to change the titles to “This Fortnight in jQuery,” though. ;)
