I've found a great datepicker on EveryBlock's web site:
http://ui-patterns.com/userset/553/image/2955#focus
Does anybody know which control do they use and is it available as a standalone control?
Seems like a custom-made one, from looking at the JavaScript source. There is a function Calendar(a, b) with a lot of code, and something called CustomFilter. They are building their stuff on top of jQuery, though.

There are so many lightboxes to choose from, I'm looking for a very lightweight one to use in an embedded javascript widget that would be a single domain name. I saw the perfect one on chainreactioncycles.com, it popped up out of nowhere so I took a screenshot:
I tried looking for info on it on the page source, but couldn't find anything that would let me trace where it came from... Would anybody know of one like this? Or exactly that one?
If not exactly like above, anything similar would be great too, keeping the following in mind:
Very small javascript download (animation not needed)
Self contained, not dependent on any libraries other than jquery (since I'm already using that anyway).
Works in major browsers
Close button (like GetSatisfaction or UserVoice)
Dims background
Avoids javascript namespace conflicts (or can easily be made to avoid them)
CSS styling of lightbox does not interfere with site styling
Have you used an existing lightbox scripts for this same purpose with similar requirements? Did you roll your own? Insights welcome!
What you are looking for is called a modal box.
Here is a list of them
... and here is a striking replica of what you are looking for
Check out Zoombox.. It sounds like what you're looking for... Simple to use... Allows custom content.. jQuery Module... From past experience it covers what you have outlined as requirements etc
http://www.grafikart.fr/zoombox will tell you all you need to know.
Looking at this control that is made for Silverlight, and wondering where to find something similar for a pure HTML5 and JavaScript solution?
http://www.componentart.com/products/dv/timenavigator.aspx
Looking at the linked site, it seems like that control does quite a variety of things, so while its unlikely that you'll get an exact replica of it in Javascript, you may well be able to find controls which have the specific features that you want.
With that in mind, I'd suggest taking a look at the following:
Timeline Widget.
JSGantt
dygraphs JavaScript Visualization Library
HighCharts
(I also note that the one you linked to is 'Patent Pending', which means that they think they've done something unique and want to prevent anyone else doing something similar. Though looking at their charts on their homepage, I have to say I can't see anything particularly groundbreaking there)
I m developing an application in YUI. And need to implement a slider for 3 forms.
which will work exactly like this JQuery Plugin :
http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/FancySlidingForm/
I am very noob in YUI.
So can anyone provide me code snippet for this kind of slider..?
as mozillanerd suggests you can use the jquery Plugin in your page along with any YUI code you have, otherwise you might have to roll your own. If you do put it up on the gallery so others can use it.
I found a similar widget in YUi i.e. YUI 2.x Carousel widget

maybe this will fit in my scenario. I will try this and let u know guys..!!
I want to implement with jQuery a tabbed interface for my website (like the firefox ones). They should also be able to be moved like the ones FireFox has.
If anyone knows of an already written library, please give me a link.
If you're already using jQuery, the jQuery UI Tabs has a sortable option for this.
Checkout the other demos for all the widgets there as well...in most cases it's not worth it to include the jQuery UI library for any 1 widget or effect...but if you can make use of a few of them, it's a nice library to work with. Of course there are alternatives out there, just throwing this as the simple/configurable option.
As a side note, it is jQuery UI....style it like you want.
ExtJS is more suitable for such interfaces. In the process of trying it out you will find many more amazing possibilities that it opens up. Also, it is very well written and a pleasure to work with.
I am trying to use FormCheck for MooTools to validate a basic contact form I am planning to build. The problem is I can't seem to set up the script to work at all =(
If anyone knows about FormCheck or MooTools and can add any pointers they would all be greatly recieved.
My website is here: http://ryanis.me/
You are using jquery AND mootools on the same page? Why would you do that, it's a bad practice and bad form to stuff your users for two frameworks for what is a small page without anything complex. that aside, are you using the noconflict mode in either framework (note that this is only available since mootools 1.2.3 and requires some changes in the source code of the plugins, probably better off namespacing jquery)
first of all, you have a mootools domready function then you do inline js on the body tag onLoad...
then at the bottom of the source, you try the mootools domready again...
then you embed an accordion script (something that mootools can have built in as part of mootools-more). not sure what you use jquery for but you really need to structure your page better and pick a single framework.
the error you are getting in the formcheck js implies that either this.form is undefined (at time of evaluation $("contactform") was not available or that this.form.getElements() is not a valid method, which would imply that the mootools element prototype is not working. once again, are you using the noconflict mode?
it really needs refactoring and rethinking...
If you are using jQuery you may want to check out various jQuery plugins that will do form validation for you. The validation plugin works pretty well. If you want to use jQuery and MooTools together, you probably need to make sure that you are using jQuery in noConflict mode.
