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.

jQuery decorative frames plugin

This plugin implements a decorative frame framework based on the CSS Decorative Gallery by Web Designer Wall.

Its main merits are: to make it very easy to define and use new frames, and the ability to apply the frames to different picture sizes.

It works mainly by using the border-image and border-width CSS3 properties where available and the jQuery Border Image Plugin by lrbabe where not.

It also includes a separate plugin for creating a frame selector.

Check it out at Google Code.

jQuery postMessage: cross-domain scripting goodness

Submitted by Ben Alman on October 23, 2009 - 11:16am

jQuery postMessage enables simple and easy window.postMessage communication in browsers that support it (FF3, Safari 4, IE8), while falling back to a document.location.hash communication method for all other browsers (IE6, IE7, Opera).

event.special.frame

Provides an animation timer that fires frame events at bound elements. It starts the instant a frame event is bound (to any element), and stops after all events are unbound, so no matter how many bindings are made, there is only ever one timer.

Chrome Frame Custom Install

Submitted by fluidbyte on September 24, 2009 - 5:40pm

This "jQuery plugin" (couldn't come up with a better term) allows for simple implementation of the Chrome Frame plugin into your website, will auto-identify the browser and version you specify and prompt the user with a plug-in install bar at the top of the page, to get the plug-in. If the user chooses not to install and closes the bar the system will use a cookie to keep the bar from appearing in the future.

Basically we built this to be a simple, and "prettier-than-the-defaults" way of implementing Chrome Frame on sites that we deem "appropriate".

Marker

Marks elements in a way that looks similar to what the selection tool in Photoshop does, animated. You can set a custom borderwidth and specify an extra css class (i.e. to add your own image).
