Archived plugins
This library of jQuery plugins pre-dates modern HTML and CSS. It comes from when jQuery was the most popular way to unify web development across browsers. I kept these experiments for sentimental reasons mainly!
- Background parallax: Scrolls a background faster or slower than the content of an element to give a parallax effect.
- Body background parallax: Scrolls a background image on the body element at a different speed to the content to give a parallax effect.
- Charts: HTML element-based charts. There are great charting libraries out there now that do far more than this.
- Constant footer: Before CSS let us make a footer sticky, we wrote hacks like this.
- Content drag scroller: Lets you click and drag content.
- Date picker: A data picker for jQuery. This kind of thing is now built into your browser for an input with type 'date'.
- Drag and drop sort: Let's you drag and drop elements to re-order them.
- Drag and drop sort cells: Lets you move cells around in a table by dragging them.
- Dynamic mobile drag and drop: Lets you either drag items into target containers, or click them, then tap the container. Either way, moves the item where you select.
- Easy captions: Adds captions to images.
- Easy validation: A form validation plugin.
- Gestures: Based on a click and drag, works out the directionality of the gesture based on compass points. Captures a sequence, such as E S W N (which might be a box).
- Image effects: A bunch of image interaction effects, which you'd do in CSS now.
- Image parallax: An experiment with layered images.
- Infinite scroller: An infinite scroller that loads data async.
- Mega select list: Organizes a select list to make it easier to pick from many items, either single or multi-select.
- Mobile drag and drop: The original version of the dynamic mobile drag and drop.
- QR codes: Created a QR code using a now discontinued Google API.
- Side content: Animated pull-out-tabs.
- Slide puzzle: Splits and image into squares and mixes them up for the user to solve by clicking.
- Supply console: Back in the day some browsers didn't have a console, so this plugin added one if it was missing.
- Text area expander: Expands a text area as more content is added.
- Text effects: Some fun experimental text effects.
- 3D text: Retro 3D effects for text. One of my favorite experiments.
- Two-sided multi-select: Moves selections between two select elements with controls to move selections or all items.
- Uppy downer: Buttons to increase or decrease a number.
- Word game: Find words using a grid of letters, and you can supply a list of allowed words if you want to validate them.
