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.

The Any+Time™ JavaScript Library includes a highly-customizable, jQuery-compatible datepicker/ timepicker (calendar/ clock widget) and a powerful Date/String parse/format utility. Use it to create a date/time picker with advanced features and options not found in other calendar/clock widgets:

* date/time range limits
* era-selection (BCE/CE, BC/AD, etc.)
* start week on any day (Sunday, Monday, etc.)
* custom base for 2-digit years (1900, 2000, etc.)
* UTC offsets/time zones

STYLING OPTIONS:

* custom labels/languages
* custom CSS styles
* jQuery UI Theming
* jQuery UI Theme Switcher
* jQuery ThemeRoller
* pop-up or always-present picker
* visible or hidden field

PROGRAMMER-FRIENDLY:

* easy to implement with only one statement
* easy AJAX validation
* easy Date/String conversion, including JSON and XML
* create multiple pickers at once
* easy removal
* easy to extend

USABILITY FEATURES:

* em-based relative-size
* single-click value selection
* WAI-ARIA 1.0 keyboard accessibility
* double-click select-and-dismiss

Use AnyTime.Converter to parse a String into a Date, or convert a Date to a String. Many format options are supported—in fact, most of the fields specified by the MySQL DATE_FORMAT() function!

jQuery fasterTrim

Submitted by travis.hardiman on February 22, 2010 - 4:40pm

A faster version of jQuery.trim() (in versions of jQuery previous to 1.4.3) for those who need to trim a lot of strings, completely overkill for most people. It will use the native String.trim (if available) and will account for NBSPs not getting matched with \s in the regex for Internet Explorer and older versions of Safari. It also provides a function for trimming Unicode whitespace characters that might not be matched by \s or a native trim.


// this now uses the faster trim function
$.trim( " string " );
$.trimLeft( " string " ); // === "string "
$.trimRight( " string " ); // === " string"

// this uses the Levithan trim function, better for larger strings
$.levithanTrim( " string " );

// trim all whitespace including unicode characters
$.unicodeTrim( " \u3000 unicode string \u3000 " );

// OR:

// returns jQuery object with HTML trimmed
$( element ).trimHtml();

// returns jQuery object with text trimmed

Repeat a string in a jQuery object

Submitted by ripter001 on May 30, 2009 - 5:32pm

I discovered that I needed a way to repeat a string and then insert it into a jQuery/DOM object. So I created this little bit of code to do just that.

if you have a table and need to fill in all the rows or columns you can write something like this:

$("table > tr").repeat( times, "<td></td>" );
