The Zend framework provides a great way to create forms by just using OOP. Each element is an object in the form object that's translated into its HTML element. If you're using this for the first time it can be quite confusing. Adding special attributes can result into errors, or can cause the form to not behave in a way intended. Styling forms in Zend can also be quite cumbersome too. In this post we are going to be using the Zend_Form object and handling styling the traditional away
jQuery really is a fantastic framework. You really write less and do more. It also has the largest collection of plugins and add-ons. In this post we are going to be getting started with using jQuery.
We are going to be exposing some of the great features that jQuery ships with. We will be exploring animations (when to use them) and events on a basic level in this post.
Finding elements using jQuery is fairly easy. But there's special technique that it also introduces. With the powers of jQuery you can now get HTML elements using pseudos which is exactly what we will be doing in this tutorial
In part 3 we learned how to select HTML elements via pseudos. Now we are going to be manipulating our HTML using CSS classes.
We will be creating a treeview from scratch using jQuery (just adding a bit of functionality for expanding and collapsing), and a bit of CSS (in this post)
In this post we are going to be carrying from the previous example in when we created and designed our treeview. Now we are going to be implementing some server side code using PHP (A bunch of scripts referenced using AJAX) and generating JSON results.
In this post we are going to be building a content slider from scratch. We will also be creating custom animations in jQuery. There are great (in fact awesome) plugins you can use out there, but the knowledge you get from this tutorial is transferable.
Dialogs are good in displaying critical data to the user such as an alert or some mini form that doesn't need a page load. In this post we are going to make a simple dialog using CSS and jQuery
Uploading files via AJAX has never been easy....well....not until now. With the help of HTML5 we can now upload such files in the background and report data such as progress to the client browser
