(jQuery) Add class of 'last' to every 3rd image

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 12:53:41 GMT

Quick little clientside script to pick out every 3rd image and add a class of last to it. I needed this because the images were layed out in 3 columns, adding a margin to the right hand side would leave a large gap on the right hand side which i didn't want. This now allows me to remove the margin for the last image.

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:47:20 GMT

A very simple plug-in I wrote to make x number of columns equal height. Looks for the column with the biggest height then sets the rest to the same. I'm sure it can be made cleaner, will look into that later.

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:07:34 GMT

Never used the index() method in jQuery but could be useful to know. Find a selected elements index when you click on it. Note the $('ul#mylist') inside the index method, gives the search some context of where to look for .selected, saves looking through all the DOM.

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 06:04:07 GMT

(JavaScript) jQuery Fade In Sequence

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:57:08 GMT

I'm sure i can clean this up quite a bit, but it works for the moment. This function looks to see if you are on a selected page. If you are it hides the navigation, then loops through and shows each li one after the other. So they don't all fade in together. Needs a tidy i think.

(JavaScript) Option Hash Using jQuery

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:20:11 GMT

If you have a complex function you may need to pass it lots of arguments. Instead of having to remember how many you need to pass, and passing 'null' for un needed arguments, pass the function an object. Now you can set the defaults inside the function, which will be superseeded if they are passed as an argument.
