Advanced docking using jQuery
Posted by John in JavaScript, Programming on June 8th, 2009
Some time ago I was doing some proof of concept: how Visual Studio docking functionality can be done with jQuery and unordered lists. Basically, the main goal was to implement multiple docking and undocking functionality. This tutorial will show you the results of PoC. via Advanced docking using jQuery. I wouldn't mind using something like this on ...
jQuery Highlight Plugin | bartaz @ GitHub
Posted by John in JavaScript, Programming on June 8th, 2009
It will probably not be a big surprise that jQuery Highlight plugin can be used to highlight pieces of text on a page. It's based on great Highlight plugin by Johann Burkard. To be honest most of the credit should go to him, as all I did was a little refactoring and customisation (so blame ...

What's the world coming to when we've got add-ons for add-ons in Firefox? This extension comes shortly after the announcement that Sitepoint have put up their JavaScript Reference.

arguments: A JavaScript Oddity
Posted by John in JavaScript, Programming on November 12th, 2008
arguments is the name of a local, array-like object available inside every function. It’s quirky, often ignored, but the source of much programming wizardry; all the major JavaScript libraries tap into the power of the arguments object. It’s something every JavaScript programmer should become familiar with. Inside any function you can access it through the variable: ...
JavaScript Will Save Us All
Posted by John in CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Programming on October 23rd, 2008
A while back, I woke up one morning thinking, John Resig’s got some great CSS3 support in jQuery but it’s all forced into JS statements.
