jQuery
This page will be the main listing of the jQuery plug-ins I've written. Originally, they were hosted by me on another of my sites, and then I shifted them to this domain, but jQuery has matured a lot since I set this page up, and in the interim, jQuery's self-hosted plugin repository has become the defacto location for plugin hosting. Hence, I've moved all the plugins that I've written (excluding my now-obsolete highlightFade plugin) to that repository. My only annoyance with the plugin repository is that there's no direct link to plugins contributed by me. Which means I need to enumerate them here manually...
- jQuery Placeholder
- jQuery Placeholder is a plugin to simplify placeholder text in input fields. Simply add a (non-standard, but being discussed by HTML5 working group for inclusion) 'placeholder' attribute containing the text you want in your text box when there is no user input and call $(inputfield).placeholder() and you're done.
- jQuery Timers
- jQuery Timers is a high level abstraction of setTimeout and setInterval. It links into the jQuery chain so you can apply timers to elements directly in your code, leading to much more intuitive timer-based code. It also adds numerous advanced features such as labelling of timers and abstracted timer ids.
- Query String Object
- This extension creates a singleton query string object for quick and readable query string modification and creation. This plugin provides a simple way of taking a page's query string and creating a modified version of this with little code.
