Today we are going back to basics. jQuery is an amazing tool for web site owners,
designers and developers to use for enhancing the user experience (UX) of their site
without having to deal much with the differences in the way various browsers work
with Javascript. jQuery just works and there are thousands of plugins, widgets, and
feature implementations already written, most of which are freely available.
The series of
articles I’m recommending here are on Sitepoint and are being written by Earle
Castledine. They are excerpted from his book, jQuery: Novice to Ninja,
a very helpful tome for first-time jQuery users. This series of articles, two
of which are complete, will take the novice a long way toward being good at
implementing progressive enhancement on their web sites.
