Annoucing the launch of spritewizard.com
I'm proud to announce the lauch of spritewizard.com a web service that allows you to create and maintain css sprites with an easy drag and drop interface. I created SpriteWizard because I could never get all of the images from a designer at once. Having a simple web interface that manages all of that for you. So please check it out and let me know what you think.
Setting new default options for jQuery UI widgets
I was messing around with the dialog widget trying to figure out away to have it remove its self after the user closed the dialog. I tried listening to the dialogclose event but that didn't work. After playing around with it turns out you can override the default options like so.
Using jQuery to create an overflow menu as seen in Google Wave
One of the features UI that Google wave uses is what I call the "overflow" menu. If you have a wave account you may have noticed that depending on your browser window size not all of the menu options are shown. The hidden options tucked away nicely in a drop down menu. On resizing your browser widow, options are added or removed from the menu. I thought that was pretty slick and thought it would be pretty easy to recreate the functionality using jQuery. So enough with the story on to the code.
timeout, a setTimeout wrapper for jQuery
Timeout is a simple jQuery plugin that allows you to delay the execution of code for a certain number of milliseconds. It works like the jQuery delay plugin http://www.evanbot.com/article/jquery-delay-plugin/4 which i didn't know existed at the time I wrote this plugin.
