Its all jQuery plugins. The Home tab gives the names and credits, and its not done yet. I think this is the best example of using jQuery in an interface, though I am sure a more experience programmer could do a better job. I think we would start a contest to see who can use the most number of jQuery plugins in a useful interface. I would be willing to pay for a prize.
Please do not look at this in IE7. Just FF. For some reason IE is barfing on the species pages, something about the way I am loading the HTML no doubt. http://www.whatbird.com/wwwroot/Components/Complete_Search_Tab.html This interface is an example of what a novice non programmer can do using jQuery and a number of its best plugins. The project was an inspiration to me because of how much I could accomplish with so little code. I had to become familiar with a large number of topics that were very technical, but I had a lot of hand hold and help from the community. I plan to say a lot more about what is in this page, as I believe it captures many of the best things about jQuery Its going to grow a lot too. PS I am sure my coding and structure could be vastly improved upon. So please don't laugh too hard when you look close. jQuery Plugin Author Mitchies* Description and comments accordion Dan Resig (Dan Switzer's adaption) 4 Has a few rough edges but this design is far superior to the one that shows up the most on Google search. http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/resig_accordion.htm easing 5 checkboxes 5 tabs 4 The tab plugin is the best one out there, its light weight and very flexible. cycle 5 Click on American Avocet in the left panel of bids.
