    })
  • Kinsbane, on 02/04/2009, -1/+14You don't need jQuery for a footer stuck at the bottom. http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
  • darkened, on 02/04/2009, -1/+9A TECH POST ON DIGG?
  • doiveo, on 02/04/2009, -0/+7Couple redundant entries but there are a few I would be willing to sacrifice the bandwidth for. I am constantly amazed how fast this library matures. CSS -hacks didn't work for me in IE8.
  • annjay, on 02/03/2009, -2/+9This is an useful list of jQuery plugins. Good work!
  • twigboy, on 02/04/2009, -0/+6i hate page peels
  • PhairOh, on 02/04/2009, -0/+4As of 1.3, $.browser is deprecated...

    but otherwise, that's pretty accurate :)
  • xevidentx, on 02/04/2009, -0/+4jquery = awesome! once mastered will definitely enhance your web dev skills 10fold
  • bioprez, on 02/04/2009, -0/+4awsome...i've been looking for the corner peel ad done in jquery for a while now...thanks!
  • drewdiller, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3Obvious technical note: You haven't tested any of the examples yourself. I authored DD_roundies using MSDN documentation and - surprise - the code does as advertised.

    Getting stuff to work in IE requires more tools than should be necessary, I'll admit. You should be familiar with tools, cubicledrone... I mean, takes one to know one, right?
  • CynicalTyler, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3Yeah, ***** page peels.
  • r00fus, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3just redirect to getfirefox.com instead.
  • madtimber, on 02/05/2009, -0/+370% of what these plugins do, can be resolved by some basic knowledge of CSS and HTML and cross browser capability. I hate that people create these plugins because they fundamentally dont understand the technology, and then they post these plugins and promote them as 'quick fixes' or 'do it the easy way' type of plugins and then, the cut-and-pasters use them all over the web because it gets things done quicker and they dont have to actually learn how to do it the right way. So we all end up surfing a sea of retardation.
    Learn to do it the right way, people, and stop depending on hack plugins that just bloat and corrupt the web.
  • kevdotbadger, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3But $.browser is still part of jQuery in 1.3, so it still works.
  • SmpleJohn, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2My pleasure:)
    This was the first plugin I made after not finding a jQuery solution for it. Not my idea by any means, but I like to think I improved it. Link Control was my second. It rocks to have both featured on the site!

    Oh crap, I hope my website doesn't go down now...
  • SmpleJohn, on 02/04/2009, -1/+3Would you mind if I wrote a Plugin for this?
  • connieLingus, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2liking the web design front page articles today...good job diggers.
  • Braxo, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2Ah, the old days.

    When every other article was on CSS techniques or Ruby on Rails development.
  • Pasat, on 02/04/2009, -1/+3Text-shadow is a neat little CSS3 property, would definitely love to see it in IE as well.
    Thanks for sharing.
  • strictnein, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2Sexy code.
  • jonathantneal, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2Once Drew Diller finishes his next release I'll be posting the jQuery ports of roundies and pngfix. I'm hoping it will be soon, since I wanted to time it with the new version of the sIFR plugin.
  • andersleet, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2very nice, thanks for linking that!
  • rnawky, on 02/05/2009, -0/+2@kevdotbadger

    He said it was deprecated, not removed, meaning you SHOULDN'T use it as it will be released in future versions.
  • strictnein, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2Do you have to work hard to post ignorant nonsense, or does it just come easy to you?
  • kevdotbadger, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2$(document).ready(function(){
    if($.browser.msie){
    document.location="http://www.getfirefox.com";
    }
    })
  • connieLingus, on 02/06/2009, -0/+2well you may be right, but the other 30% pretty much kick ass.
  • NerdyDillinger, on 02/05/2009, -0/+2great post
  • beand1p, on 02/04/2009, -0/+2does anyone want to fill me in on what they use for rounded corners. It seems like I can't find a good way for both IE and Firefox to implement.
  • aprocter, on 02/04/2009, -0/+1I was just going to come into the comments to post that, and there are other solutions as well, it seems like overkill to use javascript for something like that.
  • beand1p, on 02/04/2009, -0/+1thanks for that first link man...exactly what I was looking for. I've been trying to get an easy, compatible way for rounded corners for about a week now.
  • Lochie, on 02/04/2009, -0/+1Here's some from my bookmarks:

  • GoldEdition, on 02/04/2009, -0/+1Thanks for this one... Needed an alternative.
  • CynicalTyler, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1I feel your pain.
  • SmpleJohn, on 02/07/2009, -0/+1I'm curious, how would you accomplish the Link Control or Page Peel with CSS?
  • Wulffy, on 02/04/2009, -0/+1Right. I know the source you mentioned and use it for some time at one of my websites. Cool solution!
  • SmpleJohn, on 02/07/2009, -0/+1As the creator of the Page Peel, I agree. Just wanted to save some time when "the man" asks to put it on our website.
  • Onestone, on 02/05/2009, -0/+1Dugg, but Ryan Fait's solution has drawbacks too. It imposes a certain HTML structure, and thus conflicts with some frameworks.
  • SmpleJohn, on 02/04/2009, -1/+1Will add this to the plugin also.
  • cubicledrone, on 02/04/2009, -1/+1Wait, you're here to rah-rah for IE? IE sucks gorilla ass. Always has. Always will.
  • gafitescu, on 02/05/2009, -0/+0Or redirect to Chrome!
  • ampcstu, on 02/07/2009, -0/+0Good stuff
  • maxchiu1973, on 03/28/2009, -0/+0Excellent!!
  • cubicledrone, on 02/04/2009, -1/+0Obvious technical note: Internet Explorer could suck the chrome off a 1956 Packard.
  • viraj86, on 02/04/2009, -3/+2Its truly a great list. msaleem always impresses
  • claudegagne, on 02/04/2009, -3/+2It's down.. here's a mirror:

  • wisd0m, on 02/04/2009, -4/+1why would you want to "... Beautify Browser Issues"
  • cubicledrone, on 02/04/2009, -8/+0Obvious technical note: None of this ***** works on IE, because every time you use CSS, Javascript or anything even remotely advanced on the web, IE ***** the bed. Yeah, version 8 too.
