Web Design
ENG 330
April 16
Today’s topic is JavaScript and jQuery. Here is Getting Started tutorial at the official home of the jQuery Project, an open-source library of jQuery code built on top of JavaScript.
There are lots of sites and resources that deal with JavaScript, often under the heading of DHTML (e.g. Javascript.com ) which has a link to easy cut-and-paste scripts at JavaScriptSource.com. Some other standards include:
- Dynamic Drive with free scripts
- The Top Ten scripts according to About.com.
- Website Abstractions with good Q&A and scripts
- Tutorials, free scripts (from javascriptcity.com) and other links from PageResource
- Links to get pre-built JS code also from Builder.com (formerly C|NET) and Scriptsearch.com and java applets from Anfy.
- A basic tutorial from Web Teacher
- Finally, here is the core reference from the creators, Netscape’s Core Reference
Take a look at the code Dreamweaver generates for a 3-state Spry navbar .
Most important, understand the code behind this demo that I put together using mainly pre-defined functions. And look at this file to see how to debug a JavaScript (and Dreamweaver) error.
And here is a Lightbox that I did, using the Dynamic Drive Lightbox 2.x.(And just to avoid burying the link, here is a free photo site that might help with your final project.)
