jQuery Magic Line Navigation allows us to have a highlight of some kind (a background or an underline) follow you around as you mouse over the different links in the navigation. This will happen with jQuery and it’s animation abilities.
As such, the “magic line” will only be appended via JavaScript. Once added to the list and styled, as you mouse over the different links, it figures out the left positioning and the width and animates to match.

The jQuery PhotoShoot Plugin gives you the ability to convert any div on your web page into a photo shooting stage simulating a camera-like feel. Using this plug-in, we give visitors the ability to take shots of the background image.
Each time you click the area, a new shot is added to the slide div with a negative margin to the right. After this an animation starts, which slides it in view and pushes the other shots to the left, hiding the leftmost one. You can freely use the techniques and build upon the code. There are many possible uses especially in navigation systems and promotional sites.

A few days ago, Ben Nadel programmed a little proof-of-concept for Flickr-style photo tagging using jQuery. He did it as an exploration in mouse-based event binding. He took a step further and packaged the jQuery code up into a jQuery plugin (phototagger.jquery.js), build a light-weight ColdFusion persistence layer (drop-and-run, no database required), and turned it into an official project: jQuery Photo Tagger.
jQuery Photo Tagger comes in at about 1,000 lines of code. As such, you can either check out the project page or try the online demo for yourself. Please note that you have to hold CTRL key when clicking mouse to create hotspot.

You have all your important data backed up, right? I mean, come on folks, it’s 2010. We may not have flying cars yet like we’re supposed to, but “having backups” is a problem that’s solved. And I’m sure you’ve solved it. I’m sure you sleep well at night knowing that if a comet hit the data center where your website lives, and everything was completely destroyed, you could get back up and running somewhere else quickly enough.
If, however, you are one of the many many people who doesn’t have a good backup strategy in place, this article “Bulletproof backups for MySQL” is here to help you out. He covered quite a bit in this article, but if you make it through everything, you should be able to rest easier knowing that you have good, safe backups of your database.

Drag/drop support of files is currently only available in Firefox 3.5+. Image resizing is only possible on Firefox 3.5+ and only at a fixed quality.

Now that Apple has officially released the iPad we want to start designing for it. While Apple’s interface builder is great, it doesn’t really allow us to create custom UI elements on the fly. That’s why Geoff Teehan created iPad GUI PSD for us.
The PSD was constructed using vectors, so it’s fully editable and scalable. You’ll notice there are a few new UI elements as compared to the iPhone interface. The workable screen design is formatted to 768×1024 so anything you design in the Photoshop file can easily be brought over to the SDK.

jQuery MultiSelect Plugin was intended to re-factor Cory LaViska’s MultiSelect implementation, but it quickly turned into a complete re-write with a focus on speed and ThemeRoller support. This plugin turns an ordinary HTML select control into an elegant drop down list of checkboxes.
jQuery MultiSelect Plugin is compatible with jQuery 1.4.0+ and all themes from jQuery UI 1.7+. It is known to work in Firefox 2+, IE 6+, Chrome Beta/4, Safari 4 and Opera 10.

PHP hide_email() is a PHP function to protect the E-mail address you publish on your website against bots or spiders that index or harvest E-mail addresses for sending you spam. It uses a substitution cipher with a different key for every page load.
PHP hide_email() encrypts your E-mail address and generates the javascript that decrypts it. Most bots and spiders can’t execute javascript and that is what makes this work. A visitor of your web page will not notice that you used this script as long as he/she has javascript enabled. The visitor will see “[javascript protected email address]” in stead of the E-mail address if he/she has javascript disabled.
You can also use the generator if you have no PHP support on your web server. Change the E-mail address into your own E-mail address and press “Generate”. Cut and paste the generated XHTML into your own web page.
