Post pobrano z: Enable Users To Switch On/Off Responsive Layouts With ReView

Advertise here with BSA

Today, many websites are being built with responsive layouts (which is great) that ease reading and browsing in multiple viewports.

However, readers may still want to view the original layout even if they are browsing from a mobile/tablet,/etc. device considering this may ease reaching the info we need on some situations.

ReView is a tiny JavaScript library that allows visitors to switch between the layouts on request.

It analyses the initial viewport + meta tag if available and displays a link/button to the visitor for instantly switching to the other viewport with no refreshes, all JavaScript.

The view preference is automatically stored via HTML5 sessionStorage and a plugin architecture exists for extending its features.

Post pobrano z: Timing & Loops Made Easier: jQuery-Timing

Advertise here with BSA

jQuery-Timing is a plugin for the framework that simplifies and improves the usage of timing-related events + loops.

Using the jQuery's chain syntax, it is possible to wait for events/animations to be completed, define timeouts and run sequential or parallel loops.

These are already possible but require the usage of callbacks that end up in longer lines of code. jQuery-Timing solves all in the same line (chain).

Rather than using setTimeout, it has a .wait() function (offers more than jQuery's .delay) that can wait for an event and a trigger function besides a defined period of time.

And, there is .repeat() ... .until() which eases creating loops of any events again in the same chain.

The plugin is documented so well, has lots of examples and every feature/function is explained in detail.

The website also allows us to copy the font-family CSS property for each font with a click.
