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!

Web designers, developers and web users know them. We all have run across one of these; the Javascript alert message. Most of the time, I don’t even read them and click them away. But the more important thing is that they just look ugly, no matter which browser you use.

So why not remake the whole Javascript alert function? This article will give you the basics of my customization of the alert message.

As a webdesigner you might have had this problem: “I’ve got a nice looking wide image, but I don’t want my visitors to scroll horizontally.”

A colleague showed me a new project he was working on. A large image appeared and I had the ability to drag and move the image around in a container. Not super efficient if you ask me, I still had to grab the image and move it around holding my mouse button. Can’t there be an easier way?

This article will show you my solution to the problem and maybe even a different approach on navigation.

You might have noticed the menu at the top right corner of the website. That’s something what I like to call the GarageDoor effect.

Creating one has now been made easy! This tutorial explains everything you need to know on how to create the same effect yourself.
