I’ve been wanting to attempt a port of Erik Loyers slabtype algorithm for quite some time now and seeing Paravels fittext jQuery plugin, in combination with a gloriously hassle-free lunch hour gave me the impetus to attempt it.

One of my coworkers has shown me a very nice little U.I. feature that the youTube (account) interface provides.
If you start to type Arabic text into a textarea or text input, the form element’s direction attribute automatically gets set to “rtl” (right to left), the correct direction for Arabic text. Should you type in standard Latin text, the direction gets set to “ltr” (left to right); again, the correct direction for Latin text.

I recently wanted to fix a few bugs within last years slider experiment but, as my coding style has changed so dramatically over the past year (believe me, I’ve learned a lot in the past year and find it hard to even look at my old code), I ended up rewriting the entire thing from scratch.

I’m currently using interface elements for jquery, a collection of rich interface components that utilize the lightweight JavaScript library jQuery, to add drag & drop functionality to a project at work.
One of the project constraints was that the “droppables” i.e. the target drop zones for draggable elements, had to be created with a fixed position (i.e. position:fixed).
This, unfortunately, isn’t (yet) supported by the interface library…

I recently searched for a JavaScript that could dynamically calculate an English language number suffix i.e. “st”, “nd”, “rd” or “th”; but was astounded by how many of the available scripts either returned incorrect results or, when a correct result was returned, used an abundance of code to calculate the suffix…
