The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

Shortaccesskey - Uniform accesskey for all browsers

Submitted by adityamooley on July 3, 2009 - 6:12am

Purpose

The shortaccesskey plugin provides an easier and faster way to use the accesskeys assigned to links instead of the standard key combinations like SHIFT+ALT+key and CTRL+key you just press the 'key' assigned to the link.

Features

  • Executes the click events attached to the link using jQuery bind() function.
  • In case of AJAX call, the AJAX call is executed - the page doesn't redirect to another page.
  • Shortaccesskey gets disabled when inside a form element allowing all keys to be used normally.

maxImage Image Scaling

Submitted by akv2 on February 5, 2009 - 1:53pm

This plugin will resize targeted images to their max width according to the browser, their ratio, and some simple specs.

Every time a user resizes the browser, the images will resize with it, while retaining it's ratio. The images can resize based on the width only, the height only, or both. I have also added the option to make your image a background image. The plugin find the width of your browser and the ratio of your image and then resizes it accordingly.
