Personally, I am a huge fan of negative space in design. This got me thinking while I was trying to accomplish something different. Normally a textual caption would be positioned above a background, but I wanted to do it the other way around: place the background in the letters.
I also wanted to add some nice dynamic effects to enhance the effect. This was amazingly easy to accomplish in jQuery with the use of a little creativity.
This article will explain what you need to do create an effect like this yourself.
Sometimes it can be hard to start writing a Javascript script when you don’t know what to do instantaneously. But luckily there is the Internet right?
Just go to Google and type in what you want in a script. Good chance some jQuery or Javascript solution will show in the results, and you are basically done.
The problem is that you still don’t know how to do such things.
In this article I’ll discuss the viral points of planning out a Javascript / jQuery script with ease.
There is always a minor problem when it comes to preloading image on a website. Nobody really has a full solution for it. There are a lot of preloaders available, but most of the time they only display the words: “Loading page” or have an animated image that spins. Why can’t there be a nice loading bar of some kind?
I’ve gotten a few request on how to make a preloader, or people asking me how to get all the images of a web page and preload them (even the images in CSS).
This preloader has it all. Loading bar, custom animations and getting all images included in the web page.
This is part two of my script convertions. From scriptaculous to jQuery in just a few minutes of work. This time it’s the Panoramic Photoviewer to get a jQuery makeover.
A few highlights:
From 200 to 80 lines of code (wow).
Works in more browsers.
Lightweight due to jQuery usage.
For all the jQuery lovers: Here is the Panoramic Photoviewer. Now in jQuery!
Today I finally found the courage to go and try jQuery. After getting some people say: “You should use jQuery instead of scriptaculous.” I began thinking. What is the reason I choose script.aculo.us again? Must have been something I read in that time.
Anyway, today I found the time to look at jQuery a bit and thought: Let’s convert my very first posted script to jQuery!
After 5 minutes of reading about selectors in jQuery and 15 minutes of coding it was born. I am super amazed by the results! About 40%/50% less code and about 200% less time needed to write the script. I bet that in the future 400% less time is reachable!
For all the jQuery lovers: Here is the Garage Door effect. Now in jQuery!
