Dean Edward’s IE7 javascript has been updated with many new bugfixes, check it out.

“So I finally found time to add a much-requested feature to Coda-Slider: Different classes for each tab. Now you can target individual tabs and give each one a different look. In the new demo, you’ll see that I just used different background colors to illustrate this feature, but of course you can use images if you like.”

“So a bookmarklet is a little JavaScript script that’s intended to be run from a web browser’s bookmarks bar or menu. The reason they work as “bookmarks” is that the JavaScript source code is crammed into the form of a URL using the “javascript:” scheme.

Developing or modifying bookmarklets can be irritating, to say the least, because of this requirement that the JavaScript code be in the form of a URL.”

“As developers, we have more and more JavaScript libraries to choose from and, of course, the option not to use any at all. Over time, we each tend to favor one method of coding over another. For those who’d like to learn more about jQuery, one of the more popular libraries, here’s a crash course written with code-savvy web designers in mind.”

You’ll be able to find everything that you need to know about jQuery UI on it’s site:

http://ui.jquery.com/

jQuery UI signals the start of a whole new branch of the jQuery project which will focus on developing high-quality, reusable, components that you’ll be able to drop in your applications. Frequently, these components are coming directly to you from traditional jQuery plugins, but with strict coding, documentation, themeing, and demo standards. We hope you’ll enjoy this new level of quality as much as we do.
