slabText is a jQuery plugin for creating responsive headlines.

slabText is actually a JS port of the elderly slabtype algorithm.

The library is inspired by FitText that we’ve covered earlier, but it’s different in some aspects:

• slabText is for creating headlines, not landing-page-style ‘giant text’;
• slabText has functions for manually separating words;
• FitText doesn’t automatically separate words into lines.

Overall, the library is a very good solution for creating awesome, responsive headlines; and the breakpoint system (plus other nifty features) help a lot.

jQuery.Download is a library for capturing the DOM data from a given object.

In the provided example, you can download the above SVG (courtesy of data:). Any JS-generated stuff is captured as well, because DOM data is captured.

This is supported only by modern browsers, but there’s a callback in case of an error, as well as a functionality checker.

Collapse is a jQuery plugin for creating progressive disclosure designs.

Basically, Collapse provides a nice, lightweight (600b) solution for expanding and collapsing website content.

What’s the best about progressive disclosure interfaces is that they don’t confuse the users with any information they don’t need at hand.

The additional elements can be shown with a transition, e.g., a sliding motion.

Collapse features a number of options and callbacks (cookie support is notable) thus it’s suitable for creating even the fanciest of web apps.

jmpress.js is a jQuery port of impress.js for making websites on an infinite canvas.

jmpress.js cleverly uses the jQuery API and is thus more developer-friendly than impress.js — for most. The library uses jQuery UI themes, falls back to .animate() when transforms aren’t supported, and provides touch support for mobile devices.

We just recently covered impress.js, but this port is for making actual websites, not presentations.
