Remy Sharp has just released a new jQuery plugin which allows you to emulate the, very cool, Spy feature of Digg. For those who are unfamiliar, the Spy feature of Digg has stories fade in, in real time, as people vote, moderate, or comment, on them. It’s a very slick feature for checking the pulse … Continue reading →

Will Jessup has just release a great demo of what’s possible with jQuery (and Javascript in general): A 3d model of the universe. Try moving your mouse vertically around the screen to see the universe at different angles, horizontally to make it rotate faster. All the images are courtesy of NASA. Will used a lot … Continue reading →

If there’s anything that’s apparent from watching the jQuery mailing list and jQuery-related blog posts on Technorati, it’s that there’s a huge international audience for the library. As I’ve been working on the new version of the web site (to be released together with the upcoming version 1.0 of jQuery) I’ve had a number of … Continue reading →

Just today Technorati pushed a new redesign live. Amongst other changes, it now uses jQuery as its primary Javascript code base. This is huge news as another big web site chooses jQuery as their Javascript library of choice. If I had to guess, as to why they chose it, I’d say that they appreciated the … Continue reading →

It will be supported for a very long time, into the foreseeable future. (This is NOT the final release of 1.0, that will be … Continue reading →

I wanted to give everyone an update as to the progress that’s been made (and being made) on jQuery right now. A bunch of us have been working very hard on getting jQuery squared away for a proper 1.0 release. In order to achieve this goal, I wanted a couple things done: Cutting down the … Continue reading →

Following in the footsteps of the excellent Yahoo! UI Tetris by Dustin Diaz comes jQuery Tetris. This Javascript implementation of Tetris, written by Franck Marcia, comes in at only about 5.8kb, compared to Dustin’s 30kb for YUI Tetris. This is a great example of the short code that’s possible using jQuery, while still making something … Continue reading →

I’ve slowly been moving jQuery over to SVN during the past month, with the move being nearly complete now. So, if you wish to keep track of jQuery through Subversion (and make sure you always have the latest code), you can do so via: The jQuery SVN Web Interface (This will probably soon change to … Continue reading →

Mark Constable has created an excellent, and well-documented, resource for some interesting advanced jQuery Examples. The examples range from the simple (such as fading text in and out) to the complex (such as live searching or input field focusing). All of the examples are fully documented, which makes this a great place to learn some … Continue reading →
