Prefixfree is a script to make writing CSS3 easier for you.
As almost every browser has its own rules for CSS, like the need for prefixes such as -o, -moz, -webkit, etc., Prefixfree liberates your CSS code.
The library processes every <link> and <style> element, and also has a jQuery plugin and a DOM plugin that adds Ajax-like functionality.
CKEditor is a powerful WYSIWYG text editor for websites.
CKEditor is a full-featured WYSIWYG editor that’s easy to integrate, but focuses on compatibility and innovative features rather than being a platform from which to develop your own, unique text editor.
CKEditor has a long usage history and is well developed and compatible with CMSes such as Joomla and SharePoint.
ImageMapster is a jQuery plugin for working with image maps.
Image maps are images with clickable areas.
Now that that’s settled, let’s see how ImageMapster helps us create more effective (or feature-laced) image maps.
By far the most useful feature is “map scaling” — a feature that allows resizing images without having to create new image maps.
Then there’s effects on certain events; for example, the map’s opacity can be changed on a mouseOver, or the image can be changed.
And the library also works on mobile!
Overall, ImageMapster is pure gold if your projects involve imagemaps.
Thrivingkings.com have published an awesome jQuery plugin, Badger, which produces ‘Super sexy iOS style badges’.
“Badges” are cool, bubble-like figures that are attached to a div.
Badger is just 1.8kb minified, and serves its purpose well; as for the manipulation of the badges, the CSS is there and it’s neatly structured.
Its only problem is that IE<=6 isn’t supported, but that’s not the biggest concern of web developers right now.
Check out their other plugins, too!
Font Sizer is a jQuery plugin that allows users to change the font size for set elements of your website.
Font Sizer is easy to implement in your existing websites, as, for starters, it only needs two divs — a wrapper div and a “resizeable text” div.
The plugin is highly configurable with options such as maximum text size, baseSize, controls (like those in the image), et cetera.
spin.js is a JavaScript library for creating a regular AJAX spinner.
Spin.js weighs 2.8 kilobytes (1.7 gzipped), and that’s smaller than an animated gif.
You can configure the spinner, too: set the number of lines; line length; speed; etc.
Released under the MIT license, spin.js is a handy library for creating “content-loading” spinners in a breeze.
