DoJo 0.9 update and Prototype slider app

A new slider window application based on Prototype and the effects.js from Scriptalicious can be viewed and downloaded here. I like the slick movement of the windows and the possiblities to navigate easily between different content areas. I’ll be looking at this for a possible integration into the homepage over at Give Earth a Hand.

DoJo Javascript Toolkit version 0.9 just came out last week and it has undergone some major changes.

• Dijit has landed and it is supposedly really fast. Stay tuned for themes and more widgets.
• Layered builds. Slice and dice your builds any way you like to achieve maximum performance
• Style code is now even faster
• Lots of new modules, bug fixes, and quality APIs

I am trying to download it but it seems that the DoJo site down right now. I’ll be checking back to be able to report more on this development.

Fabio Zendhi Nagao has created iCarousel, an open source javascript tool for creating carousel like widgets. It is built on MooTools version 1.1 and gives you the choice between horizontal and vertical scrolling of graphics and text.
So, I better stop while I am ahead or else I’ll never get any work done. LivePipe is a website which offers tools for web publishing. While I was looking through what they have done, I found the famous lightbox.js with the possibilty to open a working i-frame in it: great, just what I was looking for! I’ll be trying it out as well in the next few days so stay tuned!
