This is the first post of a series that are dedicated to jQuery’s new Microsoft contributed Globalization plugin or shortly jquery.glob.js. In this first post I will try to cover the very basics like library licensing, “the good & the bad” and some thoughts on how it could be improved (IMO).

If you want to download jQuery Mobile source code and look into it just like everybody else, we are all out of luck :(  As I mentioned in my previous post jQuery mobile facts, the source code will be available in October this year. The jQuery Mobile source will not be in a separate jquery.mobile.js file. It will be right in the jQuery core. This means that jQuery team is fixing and improving

We all write our own jQuery code and since creating custom jQuery plugins is so easy, we all create our own jQuery plugins. And all of us have our own code syntax preferences. For example: function myFunction() { ... } // some prefere it like this function myFunction() { ... } If you want to publish your jQuery plugins following jQuery core code writing guidelines is a good idea. This

Most of the time custom jQuery plugins and extensions that we create do not use a callback functions. They usually simply work on DOM elements or do some calculations. But there are cases when we need to define our own custom callback functions for our plugins. And this is especially true when our plugins utilize AJAX querying. Let’s say our custom jQuery extension gets data by making some

One of the reasons that make a software popular is its extensions and plugins. jQuery has plenty of plugins that do almost anything you want, from simple button hide to full blown galleries. Plugins let non developers easily add functionality they need to their websites and there are times when one might include more than one javascript library such as prototype.js, YUI or mootools with jQuery.

My last tutorial on how to create a custom jQuery selector showed you the basics of creating custom filters in jQuery. Now, it is time to get more serious with selectors and create more advanced jQuery selectors – custom jQuery selectors with parameters. To get an idea of what I am talking about think of :contains(someText) selector. Anyway, let’s create our own jQuery selector that takes

jQuery makes it easy to select elements you need using CSS selectors. It is undoubtedly one of the jQuery features that makes it a great javascript library. On top of standard CSS selectors jQuery introduces some custom selectors that makes your code even more simpler and easier to read. Examples of custom jQuery selectors are: :header, :even, :odd, :animated, :contains(text), etc. And the

Jetpack is a new product of Mozilla Labs. It is basically a new way to create Firefox plugins using web programming languages like HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The idea behind is the same as for Adobe AIR. If you know HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can build a Firefox plugin in no time. The bad news is that Jetpack is still in early developer testing stage, so it is not available in Firefox yet. The

This post is an outcome of 15 minutes of free time and a question that I had yesterday. This question were: How fast jQuery’s .each() method is? How does it compare to javascript’s native for loop? It is clear without any performance tests that native javascript for loop is faster, but I always used jQuery’s .each() utility with caution. It always felt like I will get a performance
