There really is no good flexible way to create columns from a ordered or unordered (X)HTML list. Having run into this problem on more then one occasion, I decided to create this jQuery function that I call SPLI(S)T—a fusion of slit and list, though simply pronounced splist. (more…)
Have been teaching intro to jQuery a bit over the past two months, I have noticed that many of my students are quick to ditch the CSS hover pseudo-class once they discover the .hover() function. Sure .hover() is great and all, but CSS is built into the browser and thus you don’t need to load a script or execute a script in order for it to work. CSS is a powerhouse if you can get a little creative with it…
So here I am browsing around on the web, hitting up the usual stops and trying to expand my knowledge base on JQuery. It is then that I stumbled upon this YouTube video, seen below. I know that it is a bit long, but it is definitely worth the time, especially if you are a JQuery novice (you need to be a little past a fresh off the street beginner, but don’t let that stop you). Pretty ridiculous, check it out!
That kid knows his stuff! I mean not only does he know the language in and out but he is 12?!?! I guess that he is the next Bill Gates… What do you all think?
