Welcome to (yet another) collection of cool jQuery links. As always, you can send me suggestions/ideas/etc for links at ray at camdenfamily dot com. Ok, time for the list!
- Advanced jQuery Selectors Part 2 - This is an excellent blog article by Brian Rinaldi. What makes it even more cool (imho) is that he uses a Tic Tac Toe game as his demo. If you didn't read the first entry, you may find it here.
- As long as I'm sharing links from Brian, I'll share another one: Building a jQuery Scheduler without ColdFusion or a Database. This entry details a simple scheduler he created for the RIAUnleashed conference coming up next month.
- jQuery Lesson Series: How to Interact with HTML Forms is an excellent article detailing many different ways of doing things with forms. Stuff like counting characters, making fields required, etc.
- Next up is a custom selector by Dan Swizter. This selector finds "usable" form fields, where usable is defined as not hidden or disabled.
- QueryLoader is a simple web page preloader. Not sure how useful this would be on web pages, but for an AIR based application it could be pretty nice. You can see a demo here.
- Next we have a blog entry on adding Google Maps with jQuery. This is a short and sweet tutorial that promises to get you set up in less than 5 minutes.
- Ever wanted to sychnronise scrolling between two text areas? Suprottim Agarwal has a blog entry on it. While it says it is for ASP.Net only, you can easily apply it to ColdFusion-powered sites as well.
- jQuery Wisdom (what a great name for a blog) has a list of 11 layout related plugins.
- I've been talking about jQuery and AIR quite a bit lately. I found a Google Code project: jquery-air that provides a support library to help in jQuery/AIR development. I haven't used it yet myself but plan on checking it out more later.
That's it for this edition!

Writing jQuery is like writing JavaScript Poetry :)
I've often wondered what would be the reaction to a web page that did not display content until everything was ready. It certainly would help with issues of the visitor trying to do something before the page was ready. I could see this sort of thing being very useful for certain small sites but I'm not so sure about large sites.
People have come to hate the Flash loading screen for web content and I wouldn't see this being fine for large websites that take a while to load. Most people are probably accustomed to being able to start reading very quickly while the rest loads.
As usual, great list of links. Some of them show interesting concepts.
