Trilobita Wordpress Theme
by trilobita
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
by trilobita
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!

by trilobita
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!

Really easy field validation
by trilobita
SUPERSEEDED PLEASE SEE ‘Really Easy Field Validation with JQuery‘
from http://tetlaw.id.au/view/javascript/really-easy-field-validation
Include the scripts
<script src="prototype.js" type="text/javascript"><!--mce:0--></script>
<script src="validation.js" type="text/javascript"><!--mce:1--></script>
use the class attribute to specify the type of validation
<input id="field1" class="required validate-number" name="field1" />
You then activate validation by passing the form or form’s id attribute like this:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--mce:2--></script>
options for the class attribute are listed below
- required (not blank)
- validate-number (a valid number)
- validate-digits (digits only)
- validate-alpha (letters only)
- validate-alphanum (only letters and numbers)
- validate-date (a valid date value)
- validate-email (a valid email address)
- validate-url (a valid URL)
- validate-date-au (a date formatted as; dd/mm/yyyy)
- validate-currency-dollar (a valid dollar value)
- validate-selection (first option e.g. ‘Select one…’ is not selected option)
- validate-one-required (At least one textbox/radio element must be selected in a group – see below*)
