(jQuery) Call a function on an anchored object - dougunderscorenelson

Sometimes you click a link like faq.html#item5 and, after the browser jumps you to the anchor, you have trouble spotting the item you're looking for. anchorAway is a little function that helps you call a function on anchored items, maybe something like a scrollTo or a background color, that helps users easily spot the content you directed them to. anchorAway parses the window.location for an anchor (#foo), finds it, and calls the function (act(bar)) on it. It also finds any on-page links to the objects you've specified and binds the same function to their click event.

(jQuery) Has the image loaded? - dougunderscorenelson

Used this on a project to determine whether images were loaded or not. In an image carousel, for example, you could test the next/clicked image before advancing the slide, and if 'loaded' wasn't 'true', you could add a "loading" class and attach a new .load handler to remove the class and advance when the image finished loading.

Quickly get the index of the current element. I find myself re-using this several times in a document, so I made a lil' function for it.

HRs are a pain in the ass to style, so why bother? Wrap them in a DIV with a class of HR instead. (In your stylesheet, set .hr hr { display: none }). This also ports the class of the HR up to the new parent DIV, allowing you to make a few different HR types that clients can easily work with.

This adds a class to focused form elements (helpful for IE6/7), as well as adds a class to the input's parent (in this case, named "form-field").

Quick script to find button elements (and elements with the "button" class) and wrap their innards in spans. Good for making rounded-corner buttons.
