How to Create a Slideshow Plugin with jQuery – This slideshow makes use of a jQuery plugin called Powerslide.

Elastic Image Slideshow with Thumbnail Preview – Here’s a really cool slideshow that automatically adjusts according to the size of the browser window (read: responsive web pages) with the little help of JavaScript and CSS.

Bubble Slideshow Effect with jQuery – This very easy-to-use and customizable slideshow will give your site visitors a unique and interesting way of viewing your image gallery.

Fullscreen Slideshow with HTML5 Audio and jQuery – This particular slideshow uses the Vegas jQuery plugin, the jQuery easing plugin, and the jScrollPane. The tutorial also includes the addition of sound to add a little bit of atmosphere with the help of the HTML5 audio element and a JavaScript audio library called Buzz.

Photoflip slideshow effect with jQuery – Here’s a slideshow that uses both jQuery and CSS3 to flip through a stack of images. It’s set on automatic but if you’d like the images to flip only with mouse clicks, the tutorial also provides you a way to be able to do that too.

Flickr-powered Slideshow – This particular slideshow plugin uses Flickr’s APIs and YQL to fetch photosets from your Flickr account.

Flickrgallery – You just got to hand it to the guys at Flickr for developing its own slideshow gallery plugins, which is why it’s such a huge hit among hobbyists and professional photographers alike.  (Click here for demo).

Gallerific – Here’s an awesome plugin that can handle high volumes of photos while conserving bandwidth. It will showcase the images with minor modifications or design adjustments (Click here for demo).

s3Slider jQuery Plugin – If you want to place one of your images in the header section of your page or you want your images to include text that will link to internal pages then you might want to check out this plugin. (Click here for demo).

Supersized – If you want to immediately showcase your photo gallery by making it fill out almost the whole screen then you might want to try out this plugin (click here for demo). One cool aspect of this plugin is that it maintains the images’ dimension ratio.

Let’s being with the HTML markup:

As you can see, the code is pretty much straightforward. We have the input element “button” to create the sticky notes, and a container <div> with an id (“board”) in which to place them. This also includes the reference tags to the CSS style sheets and the JavaScript file.

The HTML for our posticks will be as follows:

Each postick <div> will have a subdiv called “toolbar” so we will have a place for us to put a close (x) button in. We’ll also have another subdiv called “editable” with an HTML5 attribute “contenteditable”; this will contain the text that the user will input in the sticky note.

And now for the CSS part, which is a lengthy one:

Like the HTML code, the CSS code is also straightforward. We first reset the body tag, then we stylize the button (input) that creates the posticks, and then stylize the postick itself and the elements inside it (i.e. the delete button, toolbar, etc.).

And now for the JavaScript:

I believe the JavaScript is pretty much self-explanatory since it also already contains some notes about each part of the code, and especially if you already know enough about JavaScript.

Anyway, you can check the demo of the tutorial here. Also, you can get the full source code (.zip) here. I hope you enjoy creating and using your posticks!

Here’s what you will need: jQuery, image and the ImageLens plugin – jquery.imagelens.js.

Check out the demo and the download.

Include jQuery and jQuery.imagelens.js in your page:

<script src=”jquery.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

<script src=”jquery.imageLens.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

Use ImageLens for default image lens. This will calculate the image and the zoom function.

$("#img_01").imageLens();

You can specify the image source if you have a different thumbnail image from the zoomed image.

$("#img_03").imageLens({ imageSrc: "sample01.jpg" });                                  

Customizing the lens size:

$("#img_02").imageLens({ lensSize: 200 });

You can also adjust the attributes in the lens like border size and border color.

$("#img_04").imageLens({ borderSize: 8, borderColor: "#06f" });

Now let’s start with the HTML.

HTML Markup

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<meta charset=”utf-8″>

<title>Pure CSS Progress Bar</title>

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”stylesheets/ui.css”>

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”stylesheets/ui.progress-bar.css”>

</head>

<body>

<div id=”container”>

<div id=”progress_bar”>

<div style=”width: 79%;”>

<span class=”ui-label” style=”display:none;”>Processing <b class=”value”>79%</b></span>

</div><!– .ui-progress –>

</div><!– #progress_bar –>

<div class=”content” id=”main_content” style=”display: none;”>

<p>Hello, World!</p>

</div><!– #main_content –>

</div><!– #container –>

</body>

</html>

Our CSS starts off with the basic styles for the layout, followed by some real serious stuff starting with @-webkit-keyframes animate-stripes {, which deals with the progress bar itself.

CSS3 Markup

-webkit-animation: animate-stripes 2s linear infinite;

}

jQuery

Now that we’ve taken care of how the progress bar will look, it’s time for jQuery to do its magic by adding the animation. This is going to involve two steps;

Step 1: Paste this short code just before the closing body </body> tag of your html file.

<script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js” type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8″></script>

<script src=”progress.js” type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8″></script>

Step 2: Create a JavaScript (.js) file and paste this code in it.
(function( $ ){
$.fn.animateProgress = function(progress, callback) {
return this.each(function() {
$(this).animate({
width: progress+’%’
}, {
duration: 2000,

easing: ‘swing’,

step: function( progress ){
var labelEl = $(‘.ui-label’, this),
valueEl = $(‘.value’, labelEl);

if (Math.ceil(progress) < 20 && $(‘.ui-label’, this).is(“:visible”)) {
labelEl.hide();
}else{
if (labelEl.is(“:hidden”)) {
labelEl.fadeIn();
};
}

if (Math.ceil(progress) == 100) {
labelEl.text(‘Done’);
setTimeout(function() {
labelEl.fadeOut();
}, 1000);
}else{
valueEl.text(Math.ceil(progress) + ‘%’);
}
},
complete: function(scope, i, elem) {
if (callback) {
callback.call(this, i, elem );
};
}
});
});
};
})( jQuery );

$(function() {
$(‘#progress_bar .ui-progress .ui-label’).hide();
$(‘#progress_bar .ui-progress’).css(‘width’, ’7%’);

$(‘#progress_bar .ui-progress’).animateProgress(43, function() {
$(this).animateProgress(79, function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$(‘#progress_bar .ui-progress’).animateProgress(100, function() {
$(‘#main_content’).slideDown();
});
}, 2000);
});
});

});

Save your .js file and then try to open your HTML file to see how you did. Once the progress bar reaches 100%, a small “Hello World” greeting will appear.

Hope you enjoy doing this tutorial, but more importantly, I hope that you’ll have fun incorporating this in to your website.

So to start off this year, we’ll focus on another particular set of plugins that have made 2011 a bit easier for web developers. This is my list of the Most Helpful New Form & Validation Plugins of 2011, in random order:

1. Recurly.js – This plugin allows you to create secure, PCI compliant transaction forms with fully customizable CSS.

Demo

2. Ideal Forms – This deceptively small framework is used to build powerful and beautiful online forms. It is highly customizable because it’s all CSS, and also supports the latest browser versions.

Demo

3. In-Field Labels – This plugin turns properly formatted HTML forms into forms with in-field label support. Labels fade when the field is focused and disappear when text entry begins. Clearing a field and leaving brings back the label into view. It supports old browsers (i.e. IE6 and Firefox 2+) though it is worth noting that IE6 requires a background-color be set on the label to match the field background. Also, there’s a minor issue about the autocomplete function, which I suggest you read about in their documentation.

Download1 (@Github), Download2 (.zip)

4. Sisyphus – Just like Gmail, this plugin periodically saves form entries while you’re composing messages. So when your visitors accidentally close the tab or browser while filling out your form, all the changes they made are restored once it’s reopened.

Demo, Download1 (.zip), Download2 (.tar)

5. Smart Validate – This jQuery credit card validation plugin ensures that the user has entered a valid credit card number before making the actual transaction. It supports all major credit cards (American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, Diners Club) but it can also easily be extended to support other credit cards as well.

Demo, Download (.zip)

6. MotionCAPTCHA – Now this is a totally different approach in verifying human interaction. jQuery CAPTCHA is a plugin that requires users to sketch the shape they see in the canvas instead of typing a series of random text in order to submit a form.

Demo

7. Power PWChecker – This is a free jQuery plugin that helps users determine the strength of their password. This plugin can be integrated seamlessly with any online form and it also gives users hints on creating more secure passwords.

Demo

8. DropKick – This extremely light plugin lets you easily create custom dropdown menus. It also degrades gracefully for visitors on older browsers. It even works on IE7 and 8!

Demo, Download (.zip)

9. TagBox Plugin – This jQuery plugin helps the user add tags like input in your forms.

Demo, Download (.zip)
