I've been collecting interesting jQuery links but haven't had a chance to post them recently. Enjoy, and as always, please email me with any links you want to share.

  • jQTouch - a plugin for mobile development, covering the iPhone, Android, Palm Pre, and other devices.
  • jQuery - Manipulating Table Tow Background Colors - Part one of a three part series by Charlie Griefer discussing how to use jQuery to manipulate table cells. Pretty useful stuff to help readers find information within a large set of data.
  • Gritter - Another jQuery Growl type plugin. I really like the design on this one.
  • Link Nudge - A plugin that, well, "nudges" a link when you hover over the link. I'd be a bit careful to ensure you don't go too far with the movement.
  • jQTransform - This is a slick one. It basically just makes forms pretty. This looks like a no-brainer type plugin that really bump up your form design. I know that I could do more myself... but as my design skills suck, this looks to be an incredibly simple way of doing it.
  • Quick and Easy Image rollovers using jQuery - Dan Vega wrote a nice tutorial on doing image rollovers with jQuery.
  • Getting selected text with jQuery - A Stack Overflow post on working with selected text and jQuery.
  • Identifying and Locating Mouse Position with jQuery - A tutorial discussing getting the mouse position with jQuery.
  • jQuery UI 1.8 Preview - I'm a bit behind on this - but you can now check out the preview of jQuery UI 1.8.

Enjoy!

Yet again another list of useful jQuery links.

But the rollover image one is faulty, it does not preload the images. This is a common problem that these scripts do not account for. Personally I don't like using javascript for simple rollovers as it can easily be done using CSS. But if you want something really fancy with the rollover then obviously javascript is the way to go, as long as you remember to preload the images.

Travis, be sure to post on Vega's blog entry as well so he hears your feedback.
