I created some web widgets for the London’s Design Museum and learned a few useful things in the process. Although all the necessary information can be found on the web, I couldn’t find a really comprehensive guide about doing this with jQuery so I decided to write this one. I’ll cover only techniques which are specific to web widgets so you should already be familiar with JavaScript, jQuery and web development if you want to follow easily.

However, you can also display feeds on your site using JavaScript, so in this post I’m going to be talking about a feed format called JSON and how you can use JavaScript to parse it out and display it…..
In today’s tutorial, we will build a set of chained select elements. Selecting an option in one of them will trigger an update on the page, showing you more choices to refine your selection. We will describe the options server side with PHP, so it is easy for you to hook today’s example to a database.
