Trilobita Wordpress Theme
We’ve created our own Wordpress theme, it’s the one we use for this blog. It is a three column flexible layout based on the Jello layout model. This means that you get a fluid layout, but one that has a minimum and maximum width set. Yep your site will not go below a certain width or expand beyond your max width. Try it, the default setting is that this layout will not go below 700px or above 1000px. These values can be edited to suit your needs, as can the amount of fluidity.
It also uses JQuery for corners and the lavalamp menu.
It is XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS compliant.

Really Easy Field Validation with JQuery
Again JQuery has improved and simplified from the process outlined earlier in this blog
for form validation just add jquery.validate plugin and then in the code add:-
$("#commentForm").validate();or more likely you’ll have a more complex form so you’ll need to specify a few attributes
var validator = $("#health").validate({
rules: {
radiofield: "required",
textfield: "required",
email: {required: true,email: true},
name: "required"
},
messages: {
email: {
required: "Please enter a valid email address",
minlength: "Please enter a valid email address",
},
radiofield: "Please Select The number of items to Check"
},
// the errorPlacement has to take the table layout into account
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
if ( element.is(":radio") )
error.appendTo( element.parent() );
else if ( element.is(":checkbox") )
error.appendTo ( element.next() );
else
error.appendTo( element.parent() );
},
})For the full documentation go to http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
And don’t forget to handle the form with javascript disabled!

Rounded Corners with JQuery
As with most things Jquery has simplified and improved the process.
For rounded corners just use the jquery plugin jquery.corner.js
and in your code:-
$('#id1, #id2 ul ').corner();and that’s it!

Add a dynamic (google) map to your site.
Adding a dynamic map to your website is relatively straightforward. Using the Google Maps API you can embed a map in your web pages. With further configuration you can add markers, icons, labels and even suggest directions to users. Any map embedded on your pages has the same zoom and movement functionality as at Google Maps. The first step is to sign up for a key. This is dependent on the URL of the page in which you wish to embed your map, so it is a good idea to put all map pages in the same directory to save having to get separate keys for each one. The next step is to look at the examples provided by Google. These will give you all the methods you require for using the API. If you don’t fancy getting your hands dirty with the API code but would like a map on your site why not drop us an email here at the Trilobita Partnership. We can set up a map from as little as £25. Just use our contact page to get in touch!
