I got a book from my friend (Smashing Book), The Smashing Book is for professional Web designers and developers, with a focus on useful techniques and best practices. To illustrate this they gave some example websites.I visited one of the website.And saw that text-labels were placed inside text-boxes.When i clicked a text-box, the text-label for that text-box moved to the left the text-box. If i didn’t enter any text in a text-box then the text-label came back inside the text-box.
I started thinking that the site was done in flash because of these effects. When i inspected the page i was surprised because there was only HTML.
I asked Arvind Sridharan (my friend & colleague at Rang De). How these effects work without flash. He told me that they used jquery and that we can have these kind of effects on our website also. This is first time i heard about jquery. In my mind i had lot of questions ’what is jQuery’ , ‘Is it a progarmming language’ , ‘How can i use that in my Html page’ . Then i Googled it and i got lots of results. One of the result was a blog in which the writer said “jQuery is a Poor Man’s Flash”. At that time i couldn’t believe this now i am saying from bottom of heart that is 200% True.
