FancySelector

I just created FancySelector which replaces the standard select with a more visually appealing select. It allows you to scroll through the options with either the keyboard or mouse. Selecting multiple options is similar but not exactly the same as using a standard select. Please see the documentation for more details.

There are two demos, a full screen demo (pictured below) and an inline selector demo.

This jQuery plugin is available for download on github.

Web Search Widget

I started messing around with the jQuery UI widget factory and put together a widget that allows you to easily add a web search button to your site (no server side scripting required).

There isn't much for me to write here since I put almost all of the needed instructions on the WebSearch github page. I hope someone finds it useful!

Replacing Checkbox and Radio buttons

I found this pretty cool website (Hieuuk) that had an example of how to replace the checkbox and radio buttons with images. I was thinking about using it until I read the comments about how it doesn't work with the keyboard.

Well, I was inspired to mess around with the script, so I started working on it!

Here is a demo of the result of my work...



But sadly, I guess it was just a nice exercise for me because I have no idea how to make it into a jQuery plugin and well as I just found out... it's already been done, twice LOL. *Note to self* search the net before spending hours on a project o.O

The other versions:

• I'm not sure, but this version looks like it was made to work with the jQuery UI
  
  
• I really like this plugin version since it animates the radio button look... toggling a switch on and off. It just looks cool :P
  

Oh well, I don't want to say it was time wasted, but I still sort of like my version ;)
