Make a Better FAQ Page With jQuery

The Frequently Asked Questions page has been a mainstay of all types of websites since the dawn of the Web. It's used as a marketing page, as an attempt to reduce the number of calls or e-mails to a customer service department, and as a helpful tool for site visitors to learn more about the company or organization they're dealing with or the products or services they're interested in purchasing. Though Natalie Maclees will be building a FAQ page for this example, this expand and collapse technique will be useful in many different situations.

Utilizing User Roles In WordPress

Roles have been an integral part of WordPress for quite some time now — many functions associated with managing them have been in place since version 2.0.0. Despite this longevity, they are rarely utilized which is a shame since they allow for the easy setup of custom user types (and also have the ability to micro-manage them). In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to utilize user roles in WordPress and make the most of this incredible built-in functionality.

Looking Beyond Common Media Query Breakpoints

With all the talk about responsive Web design, designers and coders are moving even further from the fixed pixel layouts of design’s print-based history. We’re finally thinking in terms of fluid layouts and expandable, interactive content. But when you get down to it, we’re still thinking of the fluidity in terms of desktop, tablet and mobile sizes.

HTML5

Getting Started With Web Workers

One of the many design goals of the JavaScript language was to keep it single-threaded and, by extension, simple. Though Agraj Mangal must admits that, given the idiosyncrasies of the language constructs, it is anything but simple! But what he means by being “single-threaded” is that there is only one thread of control in JavaScript; yes, sadly, your JavaScript engine can do only one thing at a time. Now, doesn’t that sound too restrictive to make use of multi-core processors lying idle on your machine? HTML5 promises to change all of that.

Custom Login Form Styling

Nowadays, almost every web service, application, game etc. allows (or even requires) user subscription, which means they all need some kind of form for users to register and sign in. With this in mind, Hugo Giraudel tried to create a few different login forms, some of which are inspired by design concepts on the web. The aim was to give some particularity to each of them.

Easy CSS3 Checkboxes and Radio Buttons

Ever wondered how to style checkboxes and radio buttons, but without JavaScript? Thanks to CSS3 you can! What exactly will Nick Dugger be doing? Well, due to CSS3's nifty little :checked pseudo selector, he is able to target an element based on its checked (or unchecked) status. He can then use the “+” adjacent sibling selector from CSS2.1 to target the element directly following the checkbox or radio, which in his case is the label.
