jQuery UI Spinner update
Sorry for no news these past few months. It’s been very hectic since the new family addition back in Dec which I managed to keep low key. I feel so guilty now for neglecting this blog and my readers (don’t think I have any regulars anyway so I guess nothing missed!), but hey priorities are [...]
jQuery UI 1.7 released
Today marks the release of jQuery UI 1.6 1.7. Kudos to UI team members who’ve done a fantastic job! I’m pretty excited not only because I’m now part of this fantastic team but also with where UI is headed and how it has progressed thus far. UI is still pretty young compared to other UI [...]

Some exciting news just came out — Microsoft plans to adopt jQuery making it part of their official development platform. So it will be shipped with Visual Studio and have all that intellisense goodness. I’m pretty excited about this news.

jQuery.com website redesign
The long overdue redesign of jQuery.com has finally landed! I like the new design as it’s more intuitive and inline with jQuery UI’s design. This redesign will certainly help pitch jQuery to new comers; for many the decision to go with another framework has purely been based on the ugliness of the old jQuery website, [...]

jQuery: outerHTML
The outerHTML property (IE only) could sometimes be very handy, especially if you’re trying to replace an element entirely. Brandon Aaron has very kindly given us a outerHTML plugin that does half the job as it doesn’t support replacements. The following code snippet fills in the blanks: jQuery.fn.outerHTML = function(s) { return (s) ? this.before(s).remove() [...]
Loving jQuery
In recent weeks I have come to love jQuery. jQuery is this lightweight, elegant and so-much-fun-to-code-with JavaScript library. You may already have it in your source code if you’re using either the latest version of WordPress or Drupal. jQuery is so easy to get to grips with, the documentation is simple to follow and complete [...]
High Performance Ajax Applications
Julien Lecomte, author of the YUI Compressor gave a talk on High Performance Ajax Applications. He refers to some of the tricks we learnt from Steve Souders’ research on the 14 rules for faster-loading web sites but also gives us more insight specifically on fine tuning JavaScript to perform up a gear. I hope you [...]
Unobtrusive, Accessible and Standards Compliant Numeric Stepper (revisited)
July last year I wrote a small tutorial on how to build an Unobrustive, Accessible and Standards Compliant Numeric Stepper. As of today it remains the most high traffic page on my site. I can see there is interest out there in a HTML and JavaScript based Numeric Stepper since the most searched for terms [...]
