jQueryUI dialog as loading screen (replace blockUI)

Posted by: pureessence on: January 29, 2010

I like being able to manually control my loading screen with my ajax calls. Previously I was using the blockUI jQuery plugin. It’s a great plugin. You may turn an overlay on your entire screen or just a layer on or off by simply calling and Since at work they are hosting the jQueryUI package, [...]

jQuery selection copy

Posted by: pureessence on: January 22, 2010

Here’s a jQuery scenario I encountered today at work. I found the solution interesting. I have 2 identical selection dropdowns.

Mystique Theme

Posted by: pureessence on: January 9, 2010

I spent most of the day customizing the Mystique wordpress theme. The theme is ridiculously great. It has all of the features I’d ever dream of. In fact, I got rid of some of my plugins + widgets because this theme covers them. Also, the theme author uses jQuery on all of the UI effects. [...]
