Hi there guys! We continue writting tutorials to try to improve our website’s interface. Search boxes are in the air and in our days they become a very important part of our websites, so it will be interesting if we can do them a little better.

This time we will learn how to improve a little more our sites by adding some additional interactions to our search boxes like autofocus, highlighting, autoreplace default text and more by using jQuery.

As always I show you a preview image linking the final result:

You can try the living example before continue reading the tutorial.

As you may notice we love jQuery over here because in addition to being one of the best javascript libraries on the web It can be extended so easily, from the basic to the advanced features.

In this case We will learn the basic theory about plugins in jQuery and how to create them with 2 real examples: a simple alert plugin & other plugin that will highlight all inputs in a page when them get the focus.

So get ready to learn guys!

If you are very forgetful as I am and sometimes when you are “in the flow” and you cann’t remember a javascript function, a CSS property you know, it can be very helpful take your cheat sheet and remember it with a simple glance. You can read your desired cheat sheet in your screen or maybe just print it as a lot of people used to do, with the time you will find it faster and faster because you know the specific area where you must look to find that CSS property that you forgot (remember that visual memory it’s very powerful!).

You can download the Full Cheat sheets pack for Webmasters or download one by one the cheat sheets:

• Html Cheat Sheet cheat sheet
• Html Character Entities cheat sheet
• CSS cheat sheet
• Javascript cheat sheet
• jQuery cheat sheet
• Php cheat sheet
• MySQL cheat sheet

I hope it be useful for those forgetful heads

An important feature of Javascript you must know is the events propagation. This what makes is trigger all events to the parents when a child event is captured (like a bubble). So, if you click in a div element, the click will active the onclick event in the div parent, and in the grandparent… and so until the body element.

This can often be helpful, but many others can be a big trouble. Of course you can disable this feature with the code below:

[code language="Javascript"]
/*DISABLE EVENTS PROPAGATION*/
//IE
if(!e)
	window.event.cancelBubble = true;

//OTHER NAVIGATORS*
else if(e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
[/code]

You can view a little example so that you can see it in action after the break.

Tested in: Firefox, Internet Explorer 6 & 7, Opera, Safari & Chrome.

Finally I found a great, useful & free resource for our jQuery projects via Color Charge, a jQuery Cheatsheet available in printable A4 format:

It will be very useful for those who are very forgetful

Finally here you have the First Part of this series of tutorials to recreate an OS Web Interface with our lovely jQuery javascript library.

As you could see in the preview of this tutorial we will focus to create the drag & drop interaction, the double click on icons and a basic taskbar with a start disabled button and a real clock of the system.

As always, here you have a preview of the final result:

It will be very interesting how we can achieve all our goals without using thir party plugins etc.

You can try the living example before continue reading the tutorial.

Tested in: Firefox, Internet Explorer 6 (bad display of PNG icons, IE bug) & 7, Opera, Safari & Chrome.

So let’s go guys!

Hi there guys! While I was working in the next tutorial I have been encountered with a problem: How can I block / cancel the context menu when I do right click on the screen?

There are a lot of examples and scripts in javascript, but one more time jQuery makes it easy! Here you have the code:

[code language="javascript"]
$(document).ready(function(){
	$(document).bind("contextmenu",function(e){
		return false;
	});
});
[/code]

This code works in: Firefox, Internet Explorer 6 & 7, Opera, Safari & Chrome.

One more thing guys… the next tutorial will be released on next Monday as a part of serie of tutorials that will be very very BIG, interesting and useful

See you soon!
