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.

Inline Field Label

Submitted by gavri on April 9, 2010 - 5:16am

This plugin allows to input a default text label inside an input text element or a text area.

Very common on search boxes, login forms or any other short forms.

Features

  1. When the field gets focus the label disappears.
  2. When the user submits the form the label is discarded.
  3. If the user didn't insert any value after focusing the field - the label returns on blur.
  4. Supports password input fields.
  5. Supports metadata jquery plugin.
  6. Supports default out of the box variable set up.

Examples

Suppose we have this form:

<form  method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8" action="#">
<input type="text" class="form-text" value="" size="15" id="edit-search" maxlength="128">
</div>
<input type="submit" class="form-submit" value="Search" id="edit-submit-1" name="op">
</form>

You can use this script to add the label search inside the form:

relCopy, short for rel copy, is a jQuery plugin that copies any DOM element, and its children, targeted by an action link's rel tag. It is typically used in forms to copy the file upload fields for multiple file uploads. It can also be customized for any purpose that requires multiple copies of fields with limits and other features. Read the how-to for more info.

asmSelect - Alternative Select Multiple

Submitted by ryancramer on July 5, 2008 - 1:33am

A progressive enhancement to select multiple form elements. It provides a simpler alternative with the following advantages:

  • Easier for users to understand and interact with than regular select multiple form elements. Users know how to interact with it sans instruction.
  • Doesn't require user to Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click multiple elements. Instead users of your form can add or remove elements individually, without risk of losing those that have already been selected.
  • Selected elements are always visible (within the confines of your interface) while unselected elements are always hidden (within a regular select).
  • Unlike regular select multiple option elements, those on asmSelect are optionally sortable with drag and drop (this part requires jQuery UI).
  • asmSelect hides, maintains and updates the original select multiple so that no changes are required to existing code.
  • If a user does not have javascript, then of course the regular select multiple form element is used instead.
  • If the original select multiple form element is modified by some other jQuery or javascript code, the change will be reflected in the asmSelect as well.
