A jQuery powered HTML5 navigation menu
I was recently asked to knock-up a semantically simple (but elegant) navigation bar for a new open-source project I’ve become involved with (more on that soon!). Having done so with a reasonable amount of success, I thought I would also share it here for everyone else to use as well!
An accessible and validated PHP/jQuery contact form
This is a really accessible and well validated contact form powered by PHP and jQuery. The design is based on Orman Clark’s ‘Clean and Simple Signup Form‘.
Using both serverside PHP and client-side input validation (powered by Jorn Zaefferer’s great jQuery Validation Plugin) this form is developed using ARIA accessibility standards, making it one of the most accessible and reliable contact forms available.
A jQuery and PHP RSS Feed Syndicator (with auto-reload!)
This simple jQuery and PHP feed loader is a dead simple and effective way of adding the contents of a news feed to any page you choose. Inserted into a page using only jQuery, it’ll allow you to keep your users up to date with whatever’s happening right now with it’s inline Ajax powered reload.
Simple and Minimalist Nav Bar (+ extra CSS3!)
Inspired by having a little free time, and the fun I had doing it yesterday; here is another implementation of one of Orman Clark’s designs, his ‘Clean and Simple Navigation Menu’. As you will see however, I made a couple of small changes: most noticeably to the font (due to browsers not rendering Helvetica Neue Bold nearly as well as Photoshop); and removing a couple drop shadows (just because I thought it looked a little better this way).
A Simple Thumbnail Slider
Premium Pixels has been in my RSS feed list for quite a while now, providing always high quality design elements from Orman Clark. Low and behold, on trawling through my RSS feeds this morning I come across a new post by Orman containing something that I had been literally about to start knocking up (probably not quite as well) in Photoshop, his Simple Thumbnail Slider.
