Slide N’ Hide jQuery Navigation Accordion Slider

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

View Example
View Source Code
A simple vertical jQuery accordion with much room for growth. In future version I would like to use a few additional lines of JS to create a cleaner structure but even if only as an example this is a good start. I made a horizontal accordion as well but all things will [...]

Firefox 3 Closes All Open Tabs on Exit Problem and Forgets To Ask What You Wanted

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Firefox is a priceless debugging tool for web developers. However, when it stops functioning properly, daily tasks & work become more complicated.
One day Firefox stopped asking if I wanted to restore my tabs when the program closed. After being annoyed for quite sometime I thought about restoring FireFox to its defaults settings.

jQuery Image Swap

Friday, October 12th, 2007

jQuery does a fantastic job at simplifying JavaScript. Below is an example for those of you still relying on DreamWeaver’s Image Rollover (MM Image Swap). The better alternative is using proper image replacement techniques.

$(‘img#nav1′).hover(function() {
$(this).attr(“src”,”/images/headerNav/1-over.gif”);
}, function() {
$(this).attr(“src”,”/images/headerNav/1.gif”);
});

<img src=”1.gif” id=”nav1″ />
And there you have it! Coming up next is the SEO case study of duffynewport.com.

something stable

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I knew this would take a bit of effort, but more than anything I’ve been lagged with work and work related stuff. So anyway here’s a decent layout with the great help of cssplay, jQuery and other players to be named later.
Now to grab my guitar, a beer and play until the night is over. [...]
