jQuery Roundup
Welcome to the jQuery roundup 37. You can send your plugins and articles in for review through our contact form or @dailyjs.
FullCalendar
FullCalendar (GitHub: arshaw / fullcalendar, GPL/MIT Dual License) by Adam Shaw is an incredibly elaborate jQuery calendar plugin.
It reminds me of Google’s calendar, but he’s also got a jQuery UI themed demo which shows a calendar with a theme. It doesn’t support editing, but it would be possible to add support using the events, which are listed in FullCalendar’s documentation.
Even better, the project comes with tests and a Makefile! It’s not often I come across jQuery plugins that are packaged this well, believe me.
Capty
Capty (GitHub: wbotelhos / capty, MIT License) by Washington Botelho is a little plugin that displays a caption over an image based on the alt attribute:
$('#capty').capty();
<img id="capty" src="image.jpg" alt="Example" />
If the image has a name attribute with a selector, it’ll use the selector for the caption’s content (see the A custom caption with a external content example).
The author has more interesting plugins on his GitHub account, wbotelhos. In particular the Wizard plugin caught my eye, which I thought was something to do with incredible magical powers, but it’s actually just for making multi-stage form wizards.
Absolution Updates
Michaël Vanderheeren has been working on his Absolution jQuery UI theme. This theme uses CSS3, and has some interesting demos:
He’s been making a lot of small tweaks lately so it uses more CSS3 and looks cleaner than before.
This is one of the themes I previously covered in a general jQuery UI roundup.
