FooTable: a jQuery Plugin for Responsive Data Tables

jQuery | Posted by Keefr January 2nd, 2013

Wish I had know about this earlier. While tables aren’t used all the time, they still do have their place — tabular data instances. In those cases, this plugin is great for making tables responsive.

jQuery | Posted by Keefr June 20th, 2012

We’ve got such a great team at work, and they’re wonderful at finding and sharing the latest web tech and goodies. This one is a jQuery plugin that allows for all kinds of cool scroll animations — which comes with my caveat — use sparingly and tastfully.

Another co-worker shared this, and I can see it coming in handy often for dealing with tabular data. I can think of at least two things on tap it’ll work nicely with.

Enhance Your Website with the FullScreen API

HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, Web Development | Posted by Keefr February 14th, 2012

Meant to post this last week, but must have slipped my mind. I hate any web site that forces a full screen, but if the user had a button to go fullscreen for a given page or web site, that’d be OK in my book.

This will allow for things like fullscreen for video and games — something that HTML alone has lacked when going head-to-head with Flash. It allows allows for a nice reading mode.

jQuery | Posted by Keefr October 15th, 2011

Every time we create new ways to prevent spam form submissions, the bots get smarter. Captchas have been a great combative tool, but they’re defeated by more and more bots.

Nice little text effect via a compact jQuery Plugin. Obviously, this is one of those things to keep in the back of your mind to use sparingly.
