			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last part of our summary series, it is time to see some of the JavaScript Goodies of 2009. Some of the following are resources, some are useful tutorials, some opinions and others just plain fun interesting stuff.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.emblematiq.com/projects/niceforms/" target="_blank"><strong>Niceforms</strong></a><br />
“Niceforms is a script that will replace the most commonly used form elements with custom designed ones. You can either use the default theme that is provided or you can even develop your own look with minimal effort.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.atblabs.com/jquery.corners.html" target="_blank"><strong>jQuery Corners 0.3</strong></a><br />
“This jQuery plugin will easily create beautifully rounded corners. No images or obtrusive markup necessary.”<br />
Another round corner script for your benefit!</p>
<p><a href="http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/" target="_blank"><strong>Superfish jQuery menu plugin</strong></a><br />
“Superfish is an enhanced Suckerfish-style menu jQuery plugin that takes an existing pure CSS drop-down menu (so it degrades gracefully without JavaScript) and adds the following much-sought-after enhancements.”</p>
<p><a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2008/10/22/javascript-will-save-us-all/" target="_blank"><strong>JavaScript Will Save Us All</strong></a><br />
Eric Meyer’s opinion on why we should look to JavaScript to extended standard support badly lacking in many browsers, instead of waiting for the browser vendors to implement them.</p>
<p><a href="http://alistapart.com/articles/sprites2" target="_blank"><strong>CSS Sprites2 – It’s JavaScript Time</strong></a><br />
“A sense of movement is often the differentiator between Flash-heavy web sites and standards-based sites. Flash interfaces have always seemed more alive—responding to the user’s interactions in a dynamic way that standards-based web sites haven’t been able to replicate. Lately that’s been changing, of course, with a resurgence in dynamic interface effects, helped along by JavaScript libraries that make it easy—libraries such as Prototype, Scriptaculous, Moo, YUI, MochiKit (and I could go on). It’s high time to revisit the CSS Sprites technique from four years ago, and see if we can’t interject a little bit of movement of our own.”</p>
<p><a href="http://webdev.stephband.info/parallax.html" target="_blank"><strong>jParallax</strong></a><br />
“jParallax turns a selected element into a ‘window’, or viewport, and all its children into absolutely positioned layers that can be seen through the viewport. These layers move in response to the mouse, and, depending on their dimensions (and options for layer initialisation), they move by different amounts, in a parallaxy kind of way.”</p>
<p><a href="http://boagworld.com/technology/fixed_footers_without_javascri/" target="_blank"><strong>Fixed Footers without JavaScript</strong></a><br />
A pure CSS technique to position fixed footers, tested down to IE 5.5.</p>
<p><a href="http://fortes.com/projects/dynamiclayout/" target="_blank"><strong>Dynamic Layout</strong></a><br />
“Dynamic Layout is a simple JavaScript library that allows you to easily adjust page layout based on the current browser width.”</p>
<p><a href="http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/stop-using-ajax/" target="_blank"><strong>Stop using Ajax!</strong></a><br />
“Ajax is a sound and useful idea. But every idea comes down to a practical implementation – a technology that makes it happen – and in this case the technology is immature, because it leaves groups of users behind. Most notable and greatly affected are those using assistive technologies, but also those using less capable browsers that don’t support the necessary scripting objects, or don’t support scripting at all. ”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.allcrunchy.com/Web_Stuff/sIFR_lite/" target="_blank"><strong>sIFR Lite</strong></a><br />
“Once upon a time some really good web developers created sIFR. Their goal was to seamlessly convert HTML headlines into nice fonts. Well, these developers did a great job getting it to work nicely. Looking at their code, I decided I would create a &#8220;lite&#8221; version of sIFR using a more object-oriented approach. sIFR Lite is a bit easier to read, and more intuitive to use.”</p>
<p><a href="http://dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_belatedPNG/" target="_blank"><strong>DD_belatedPNG</strong></a><br />
Support for 24-bit PNG alpha-translucency background-image + background-position + background-repeat for IE 6 at last!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cssnewbie.com/equalheights-jquery-plugin/" target="_blank"><strong>The EqualHeights jQuery Plugin</strong></a><br />
“Creating equal-height columns with CSS is sometimes a bear. But who needs the hassle of faux columns, “clear” divs and the rest? With this bit of jQuery, you can easily equalize the heights of any group of elements.”</p>
<p><a href="http://herr-schuessler.de/blog/jquerypopeye-an-inline-lightbox-alternative/" target="_blank"><strong>jQuery.popeye – an inline lightbox alternative</strong></a><br />
“The plugin transforms an unoredered list of images into a box displaying only one preview image at a time. The box has controls to skim through the preview images and to enlarge a given image. The box expands to accomodate the enlarged version, while the controls are hidden in full image size mode. A simple click on the image returns the box to its compact state.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_roundies/" target="_blank"><strong>DD_roundies</strong></a><br />
An easy way to implement round corners in IE. “No 9-cell tables for one round box. No images. Doesn’t add a half-dozen or more HTML nodes to a container element (more like one, maximum of two, and only in IE).”</p>
<p><a href="http://designintellection.com/2008/this-is-how-you-get-sifr-to-work/" target="_blank"><strong>This is how you get sIFR to work</strong></a><br />
“The goal of this tutorial is to distill the information at the official site for sIFR into a simple step-by-step process of how to implement sIFR on your site.<br />
After following this tutorial you will have a basic understanding of how sIFR works and will be able to expand into more advanced areas.”</p>

Smooth Javascript Image Zooming For Your Web Pages.</p>

<p><a href="http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2008/04/super-mario-in-14kb-javascript.html" target="_blank"><strong>Super Mario in 14kB Javascript</strong></a><br />
“Here’s an experiment in keeping things small and confined to one Javascript file. There are no external image files or anything, everything is rendered with Javascript using either canvas elements or old fashioned div-making tactics (for IE). The sprites are stored in custom encoded strings in a format that only allows 4 colors for each sprite but in turn only takes up around 40-60 bytes per sprite.”</p>
