I’ve had the idea for a countdown timer for a while now. So the last couple of weeks I’ve been plugging away at one. I have sorted out some interesting issues with it. Basically keeping time with Javascript is a pain but I think I’ve solved it. Here...

Last week I wrote a plugin to do tabbing navigation. I’ve written this javascript so many times in the past, I can’t believe I haven’t turned it into a plugin til now. What came out was the fastest plugin I have ever written. I think it took me about...

A couple of wees ago I wrote a piece of javascript for the new Wooboard interface. The problem was that there was a tabbing navigation that needed to support many more items than could fit in the screen. This navigation changed depending on what challenges were set....

I wrote this plugin ages ago, but I recently upgraded it to work on optgroups, so I think now it’s worthy of being published. Many times I have received designs that have fancy select boxes. All UI developers know about this problem. Designers seem to think that...

I’ve been confounded by the iPhone/iPad’s inability to interpret the viewport meta tag. It’s something I’ve scratching my head over for the past couple of weeks. I remembered a few months ago I read Shi Chuan’s blog (one of the...

I want to share with you some of the pain of UI development today. Before CSS3 setting an elements background opacity without affecting the content of that element’s opacity was a real pain. If you set the opacity of the element, then all the children of that...

Well, I got slack last week (personally I blame it on the blog being down for a couple of days) and I didn’t post this plugin as I said I would. Here it is, I’ve got it up on Github and posted a demo page right here. I love this plugin, it’s very...
