    I’ve just released a new (beta) version of my news ticker plugin. It adds two commonly-requested features:

    1. An option to resume the animation on mouseOut (“resumeOffHover” setting)
    2. Support for attributes on links within the news item list - any attributes added to an anchor will be carried through.

    Version 2.3.1-beta can be downloaded from the jQuery plugin page. The documentation contains...

  • Using the BBC style news ticker in Drupal

    3 June 2010

    Version 2.x of my jQuery news ticker plug-in requires jQuery 1.4.x. (The plugin site lists it as 1.3 compatible because it still doesn’t let me mark it as 1.4!)

  • MakeMineATriple meets Drupal

    22 May 2010

    So I’ve completed my switch-over to Drupal from Wordpress. As I mentioned in my previous post, the content migration bit was actually pretty easy and quick (I used the wordpress_import module).

  • Migrating from Wordpress to Drupal

    19 May 2010

    While I enjoy using Wordpress, I’ve been using Drupal more and more over the past couple of years. This is mainly because of the fact that we’re using it a lot at work these days.

    Drupal has its quirks (as does any system), but overall I’ve found it to be an excellent platform, and I’ve therefore decided to move this blog to Drupal, in the process taking advantage of all the experience I’ve gained in theming Drupal sites, to give my blog a slight design refresh. I’m part...

  • Updates to BBC style news ticker jQuery plugin

    28 March 2010

    I’ve been writing a few updates for my BBC style news ticker plugin, in order to add some accessibility features as well as working around an issue where in some browsers, links where the link text is being modified can’t easily be clicked.

  • Should links open in new windows?

    10 February 2009

    In my job, I get asked every now and then: “Can we make links to other websites open in new windows?” The reason generally given is to avoid “losing” site visitors. The answer, in short, should be “No”. There are a couple of points to raise here: The target attribute is deprecated, and not valid in modern web standards (i.e. no ‘target=”_blank”’). However, the functionality could still be done using javascript and validating against web standards. So… why shouldn’t we just use javascript to do this?

  • Image gallery

    30 November 2007

    My brother Rory Gullan is pretty handy with a camera. To tie in with his first exhibition I built him a website to showcase some of his photographs. Of course, I needed to give him a photo gallery. I first considered using Gallery2, which I implemented for Oscar Whicheloe’s site, but ended up building something a bit more individual.

  • Passing parameters to a function called with setTimeout

    When creating my news ticker plugin, I came across a slight complication when using setTimeout() to calling a function which needed parameters passed to it. Not having had much call to use setTimeout in the past, I simply put:

    setTimeout(myFunction(parameter)...

    Wanting to create a news ticker along the lines of that used on the BBC news site, I took a look around for a handy plugin to do it, but with no success. So… I created my own, as a jQuery plugin. A quick sample of how to use it follows, or you can see the news ticker in action.

  • Progressive enhancement with jQuery

    30 September 2007

    I’ve been having a lot of fun with jQuery recently. One of the things particularly easy to do with it is write nice and unobtrusive javascript (a good start when looking at progressive enhancement). This is largely down to the fact that it’s very easy to find particular elements within the DOM - with any level of specificity - and attach behaviour to them. On the site I’ve been building at work, one particular example was to get jQuery to write in the “...
