• Create a Timeline in JavaScript with SIMILE

  From time to time you get to a point, where you want to present information in a way that makes it easy to see and understand their temporal relationship. For these occasions, timelines are a pretty neat tool, yet how do you do something like this within a website in a way that keeps the whole thing interactive?

  Besides the usual suspects (the 1000th Flash/Flex implementation), there are also some JavaScript based solutions, that get the job done quite well. For a project that is part of my master thesis right now, we were looking for a simple timeline tool that could easily be embedded and extended to our needs and found the SIMILE Project of the MIT. Part of this project is also a timeline implementation in JavaScript that is remarkably flexible.

• Accesskeys on PennyArcade

  Yet another probably for most people out there quite useless Greasemonkey script. It simply adds "n" as accesskey to navigate to the next comic strip and "b" to navigate to the previous comic strip on Penny Arcade as soon as you're viewing a strip.

• Now work in IE

  As you might or might not have noticed, the site should now look way better (apart from the top menu) and also the dropdown menus in the sidebar should now finally work. Sorry for that, but I hadn't noticed that problem until yesterday.

  What was the problem with the sidebar? Quite simple. I build the dropdown menus using DOM. There I had something like this to set the onchange eventhandler:

  selectbox.setAttribute("onChange","redirect(this.value)");

• Want to convert me to Dojo?

  Since I first heard about jQuery back when the discussion started if it should integrated into Drupal's core distribution, I've been using it on nearly every website I've been working on since then. At the recent Barcamp in Munich Wolfram Kriesing presented some of the features the Dojo toolkit has to offer that might make me a switcher. I still like jQuery quite a lot, but I simply wanted to take a look at some of Dojo's features and found a couple of them that I really enjoy using on a project right now :-)

• js_include

  J Wynia has written a nice little include function for JavaScript basically embedding the included-script nicely into the head element of the displaying HTML page. So all you have to do is puts something like js_include('path/to/file.js'); into one of your already "installed" JavaScript files. Definitely much nicer than dothing something

• Debugging JavaScript with Firebug

  Seems like Firebug is more any more becoming one of the most powerful webdevelopment extensions for Firefox. Justin Palmer wrote an in-depth report about some of the new features Firebug will have in it's next release. According to this article there will be breakpoints, logging, tracing etc. facilities to make debugging JavaScripts much easier. Finally now alerts anymore ;)

• S5 is no longer a one-man show

  Eric Meyer's web standards based presentation system S5 seems to be about to move out into its own project home with s5project.org, set up by Ryan King. The aim seems to be to offer all S5 users a community platform for sharing information and customizations.

  And for those of you that don't know S5 yet, think about it as PowerPoint in your web browser using XHTML, JavaScript and CSS.

  For more details about what is going on with S5 and what is planed for the near future, check out the announcement by Ryan King :)

  Hmm.... that somehow reminds me that I was actually working on an "Alternatives to PowerPoint" article when I wrote a paper a month or so ago ...

• jQuery 1.0.2 released

  John Resig just released a new version of his JavaScript library/framework jQuery. This release (version 1.0.2) seems to be focused on cross-browser related problems.

  jQuery is a light-weight JavaScript library which is in many parts similiar to the heavyweighters such as Prototype and aims to help developers with tasks such as dynamic style-changes, AJAX etc. In the recent months jQuery seems to have gained a lot of popularity in the Drupal world and is planned to be included in the next release of the CMS (5.0.0)

• JQuery 1.2

  Today seems to be a good day for releasing new software. At least that's what Sony and John Resig might have thought when they woke up today :-) And this is a quite special update for the popular JQuery JavaScript library.

• Cufón: Font-replacement made easy

  Primary link: cufon.shoqolate.com

  For quite some time now I've (at least with half an eye) been looking around for a font-replacement technique that doesn't require Flash, and Cufón by Simo Kinnunen seems to do the job quite well so far. Instead of Flash, it relies on Canvas and VML in a pure JavaScript container.

  Getting it to work is really easy, too: Just upload a font on http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/ and you will get a JavaScript file like MyFont_400.font.js. One click to the left you get the main Cufón library that does the actual font-replacement. Link both into your document and then use Cufon.replace('h1') to, for instance, replace the h1-element of your page.

  <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/cufon-yui.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/MyFont_400.font.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
      Cufon.replace('h1');
  </script>
  

  That's all. For starters. Cufón also exposes some options for each replacement and a way to easily bind fonts to dynamically created elements through its API. For now I'm just playing around with it, but it really looks promising :-)
