Event.live = function(s, e, f) {
    Event.observe(document, e, function(event) {
        if (Element.match(event.target, s)) {
            if (!(f.call(event.target, event))) {
                event.stop();
            }
        }
    });
}

To use this run something like the following:

Event.live('div#doesnt_exist_yet a.button', 'click', function() {
    // run this when the button is clicked
});

Hope this helps!

You can download the script here and there’s a demo here.

Since .live() is supported for more events now, I thought it was time to get it working how I always wanted it to work.

Using the same syntax on links as before, you can specify the target div, using the target=”" attribute and the url is automatically extracted from the href=”" or action=”" attribute meaning you can keep your code simple and valid but have easily Ajax populated content, as since I’m using .live() any future links/forms that match the original selector will continue to be ‘ajaxified’.

There’s a demo here and source code too, as ever.

Also available through Google Code.

New features:

* Image titles
* Separate configuration
* Standard mode with safe URLs as well as mod_rewrite enabled ‘nice’ URLs
* Added ‘..’ parent folder to galleries

The demo page has been updated and the script is available to download here.

So much so, that I’ve spent time writing a pointless bookmarklet that makes me even more lazy and probably isn’t doing anything for my typos to real words ratio, however, I thought it might be useful to other people too.

There’s a demo here, and a generator for your own custom one here too.

The uncompressed source is linked at the bottom of the demo page, in case you want to see how it works or extend it. There are some comments there too. (But not many…)

This is the result!

You can get the script here

If it’s useful, I might set up a memorable URL, let me know in the comments

I did set up syntax highlighting, using codemirror, which looked pretty nice, but made the minification (on large-ish files) take far too long. I haven’t really tested on any huge files, so try this at your own risk, but it seems faster that TextMate was.

Are you concerned your users will too?

Never fear! This simple plugin places an element of the same type underneath the current element and shows the contents of the title attribute (or whatever attribute you decide to use) as a label until you type text into the box!

It’s a very early version, and probably has a few bugs, but I’ve implemented enough to make it fairly useful I think. Unfortunately when you resize a textarea in webkit, it doesn’r fire the resize event, so I’ve added a workaround using mousemove (I tried to only capture mousemove if a mousedown had been detected, but to no avail…)

You can see a demo here, and get the files here.

Simple, I thought, just use one of the many existing drop-down plugins. I tried many, but most seemed to use hardcoded styles and I had a few problems (some of which I encountered again, writing this).

So I’ve made this, I think it’s fairly robust, but I’m sure there’ll be problems with embedded objects (flash) and select boxes (in <= IE6), but for my needs, it sufficed, so I thought I'd share, in case anyone else needs a simple script to manage drop-downs.

To use, create a nest of elements like this:

<ul id="top">
  <li>
    <ul>
      <li></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

or something similar (any elements, should work) and call:

// jQuery:
$('ul#top').dropdownify();
 
// mootools
$('top').dropdownify();

Which should create a simple drop-down.

There are a couple of examples, one for jQuery and one for mootools, and the files can downloaded here and here.

I did encounter a problem with IE, mainly due to z-index faults, so with HTML code like the following:

<div class="nav-wrapper">
  <ul id="top">
    <li>
      <ul>
        <li></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

I used the following CSS:

div.nav-wrapper,
div.nav-wrapper ul,
div.nav-wrapper ul li {
  position: static;
  z-index: 100;
}

Recently I’ve seen a few implementation of Growl in Javascript and basically just thought I’d have a go too. Everyone’s doing it, or so it seems!

This simple implementation is styled using pure CSS and you should be to easily modify it to suit your needs!

I’ve set up a demo page and the files can be grabbed from here.
