The smell of sweet freshly baked sausages followed me from the Berlin Mitte to the enormously charming venue of Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Designers from all corners of Germany, Europe and abroad slowly fill the Main Hall on the first floor. The taste of sweet strawberry juice touches my lips and flows down to my spine as the approximately 1500 attendees softly rest assured into the pillows of their chairs. As Simone Wolf and Donald Beekman approach the bench, silence slowly dawns upon the crowd. Every corner of the space wispers Deutsche Gründlichkeit and so the 14th International Design Conference, TYPO Berlin 2009 kicks off.

Post pobrano z: Enable Mouse Gestures With jQuery

jQuery Fancy Gestures is a plugin for enabling mouse gestures on any website.

Using the plugin, you can accept inputs similar to smartphones, create a captcha where users will need to draw a text & more (totally up to your imagination).

jQuery Mouse Gestures

The plugin is a port of mouse gesture recognition with ActionScript & uses Walter Zorn’s VectorGraphics library.

Every position (N,W,S,E,NW,SE, etc..) is described with a number & it is possible to create custom gestures by defining the related series of numbers.

ICEpdf is a 100% Java-based open source PDF library for creating & displaying and printing PDF documents from any Java application.

The library is lightweight, fast & easy to use. It can render PDF files up to version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.0).

The library can render PDF files to an image (PNG, JPEG, or GIF) in a server-side web application. For faster viewing the first page, it loads documents incrementally.

ICEpdf also supports Adobe Standard Security for password-protected documents & interactive link annotation actions; uri, launch and resource.

P.S. The open source version doesn’t come with the Font Engine (the font substitution is done succesfully when the Font Engine is off).

6 Flexible jQuery Plugins To Control Webpage Layouts Easily

Post pobrano z: 6 Flexible jQuery Plugins To Control Webpage Layouts Easily

Controlling layouts with CSS is a big subject these days as after dropping the table support, it is clear that the current capabilities of CSS is not enough to develop complex & flexible layouts with ease.

There is CSS Template Layout Module which offers exciting features but it is in a draft status.

Until we get those new features, there are various solutions that are developed with jQuery to manipulate page layouts for faster & cross-browser results.

Here is a collection of 6 jQuery plugins to manage page layouts easily:

jQuery Masonry

jQuery Layout Plugin

Masonry is like the flip side of CSS floats. Floats arrange elements horizontally then vertically, Masonry arranges them vertically then horizontally. And the result is no vertical gaps between elements of varying height.

The plugin is almost totally managed with CSS rules. It uses jQuery’s outerWidth() and innerWidth() methods to calculate the margins & paddings of elements.

UI.Layout

jQuery UI Layout Plugin

This is a plugin to create desktop-like layouts. It can b used to create any UI look from simple headers or sidebars, to a complex application with toolbars, menus, help-panels, status bars, sub-forms & more.

jLayout

jLayout

The library provides three layout algorithms:

  • border, which lays out components in five different regions
  • grid, which lays out components in a user defined grid
  • flex-grid which offers a grid with flexible column and row sizes.

css-template-layout

jQuery CSS Layout

The plugin aims to offer a similar functionality with the CSS Template Layout Module (which is currently in a draft status).

The script simply parses the mentioned CSS rules & displays the content accordingly.

Columnizer

jQuery Column Plugin

The plugin automatically converts any content into a newspaper-like column format.

A default clumn widt or a static number of columns can be defined & the rest is almost done by itself.

EqualHeights

jQuery Equal Heights

Creating equal height boxes or content holders is mostly a challenge with CSS. The plugin makes this process easy by simply calling a function.
