In this article, you will see how to create a good looking dropdown login form using CSS3 and a bit of jQuery.The main purpose is to avoid waiting to load a separate page in order to log in. This way you can increase user experience, as the user has the possibility to log in immediately.
jQuery ExCanvas World Map
Google Analytics has an excellent map of the world showing where your website visitors come from.While I can’t ever hope to compete with Google’s product, I do want to have a similar map within JAWStats which shows roughly the same sort of information. Ignoring the “clickable” nature of Google’s map at this stage (I’ll tackle that another day), dynamically drawing a map in a web browser isn’t so easy. Naturally, I thought Flash would be the answer but, never one for doing things the easy way, I wanted to try doing this directly in HTML’s <canvas>
tag.
JSL (JavaScript Loader)
Imagine there’s a 4-lane highway between your web browser and the internet itself. This highway is optimize to let pictures, text, and css fly by. But, when it comes to external scripts, the highway creates a toll booth that slows traffic. The worst part is that pictures text, and css caught behind these scripts have to wait until they pass through. JSL is the latest in toll both avoidance. It creates an express lane that lets all pictures, text, css, and external scripts pass by without worrying about toll booths. That means you save time and money on traffic costs 🙂
jQuery Stylish Select
A cross-browser, accessible alternative to the standard form element which can be fully customised with CSS.Stylish Select attempts to replicate the functionality of the browser default select box as closely as possible with support for keyboard navigation, and intelligent positioning.
jQuery Stylish Select aims to have a minimal code footprint and weighs in at just over 3KB when minified.
ImageMapster a jQuery plugin makes HTML image maps useful
ImageMapster is a jQuery plugin that brings HTML image maps to life. With this tool, any image map can be highlighted, selected, and manipulated in all kinds of ways. ImageMapster is 100% Javascript and it works on every major browser, without Flash or any other dependencies (except jQuery), including Internet Explorer 6. Some advanced effects require HTML5 support, but will still fall back to work in older browsers.
