10 Great jQuery & MooTools Tune Ups

Aug 31, 2009 by Derek in Inspiration

Bloggers come in all shapes, sizes and styles. Pixellica comes dangerously close to jumping on the WordPress bandwagon by publishing a short list of some of the snappiest tune-ups you can implement on your website or blog – a little technical know-how and copy/paste is all you need.

I’ve taken the liberty of separating the items by what AJAX library they utilize.

MooTools Tune Ups

Form Validation

Validate forms on the fly, without any unnecessary page loads or clunky javascript or server-side coding.

Moosture

Provide your visitors with gesture-based navigation. It can be overkill when it’s used too much, but in the right place it can be great.

Using Opacity to Focus

Allow visitors to focus only on what element they’re currently reading.

Product Highlighter

MooFlow Gallery

If you use Macintosh, you’ll get this one right away. Give your photo gallery the CoverFlow treatment. It also loads additional galleries on the fly.

jQuery Tune Ups

Password Input, iPhone Style

The problem with password inputs is that every character is an asterisk. This tuneup changes each character on a delay, giving folks filling in a form the chance to correct typos as they go.

Dynamic Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are an excellent way of showing hierarchy navigation, giving visitors a sense of place. But they don’t have to take up much space.

Infinite Carousel

Carousels and slide galleries are great, except they always reset to the the beginning image if you scroll too many times. Infinite Carousel just keeps it going.

Highlight Tabular Data

Tables are notoriously hard to read, and the more data the worse it is. One way to ease the difficulty is by providing a highlight on each row, column, and cell so the eye has something to follow.

Custom Missing Image

How many times have you had a broken image? This tuneup provides a custom image in the event an image path doesn’t work.
