Web Workers – Amazing Parallel JavaScript Tasking For Your Application


Delicous: 0

 

I’ve been looking at some of the cool new features being added to popular web browsers lately and I thought I’d talk about Web workers this week. Spawned from the Google Gears team’s WorkerPool Api [1], Web workers allow your web pages to run Javascript as a series background threads. Once you’ve created a worker you can communicate with them by simply posting messages to an event handler that’s been specified by the creating object. The real power behind Web workers is that you can perform certain tasks without interfering with the user interface at all – this means fewer pages "hanging" when you’re executing a ton of Ajax reqests through your UI as web worker threads are able to use XMLHttpRequest.

Hi guys. I’m making some more of my custom components available for download today. The Apple iTunes CoverFlow effect is one the nicest forms of visualizing albums and images that I’ve seen over the past few years and I’ve always wondered..could the effect be done using JavaScript and no Flash whatsoever?. The answer is yes and I’d like to share with you my new Pure JavaScript CoverFlow component (which doesn’t rely on jQuery, YUI or any other frameworks to work! :)Click here to read more »

The Missing Date-Time Selector for jQuery UI


Delicous: 0

timepicker

Today I began work on a new UI for a client and I thought I’d share this neat Date-Time selection component that I think might be useful to some other developers. Rather than requiring you to go for separate Date or Time components, it’s got everything built into the interface quiet neatly. All you need to do to attach the component to a text field is setup a new datepicker (as shown in the example below). The component supports multiple instances and hopefully it’ll be as helpful to your projects as it was to mine. Btw, here’s the download.

  1. <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>  
  2. <!– core, slider, datepicker –>  
  3. <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js"></script>  
  4. <script type="text/javascript" src="js/timepicker.js"></script>  
  5.   
  6. <script type="text/javascript">  
  7. $(function() {  
  8.     $(‘#datetime’).datepicker({  
  9.         duration: ,  
  10.         showTime: true,  
  11.         constrainInput: false,  
  12.         stepMinutes: 1,  
  13.         stepHours: 1,  
  14.         altTimeField: ,  
  15.         time24h: false  
  16.      });  
  17. });  
  18. </script>  
  19.   
  20. <input type="text" name="datetime" id="datetime" value="01.06.2009 00:00">

The Best Advanced Animation techniques you can perform using jQuery


Delicous: 0

When you think about animation on the internet, chances are some of the first tools that come to mind are Flash, Microsoft’s Silverlight and maybe even Animated GIFs. It has only been in the past couple of years that JavaScript and the frameworks built around it have really matured into languages that neatly support basic animation primes like chained time delays, basic motion and simple special effects – so it’s never been a better time to start experimenting with what they can do!.
