New jQuery Plugin: Style File Input

The Style File Input jQuery plugin provides a method for displaying a styled file input. It creates several extra elements in the DOM which, as can been seen in the demos, can be freely styled in almost any way.
Check out this new jQuery Plugin's page; Style File Input.

New jQuery Plugin: Toggle Options

This jQuery plugin allows the user to select or deselect options in a multiple select box without the need of the control key. The options can be selected using the arrow keys and spacebar, holding shift + arrow keys or simply by a single mouse click.

Just gone live!

I have just put the new site live so there may be some bugs that I have not noticed. If you do spot any problems please tell me about them using the comments area at the bottom of the page.

Also if you have any opinions on the new website feel free to post a comment expressing your views.

I have yet to transfer my PHP stuff over to SourceForge and will finish doing this over the next couple of weeks, so in the meantime they won't be accessible.

Here you will find the various files that I have created and discovered during my years as a developer.

Last year (2010) I began writing plugins for the jQuery Javascript library to help solve some of the problems that I experienced while developing websites. These were mostly for my own use but have since become quite popular being listed on several best of blog entries etc.

I have also created some PHP classes; some, like the Character Converter, for fun and others, like the Advanced Emailer, for more serious use. Regardless of my reasons for creating them, I'm sure they will be of use for someone :)

After an unplanned hiatus and a move down south for a new job I am now back in the game and have some new ideas I will most likely put into action sometime over the next while.

Furthermore I have been reading the comments left on the plugin pages and have made a note of the reported bugs that need to be addressed; I will post updates on this homepage and on the plugin's page as and when they happen.

Well that's pretty much all for now, I hope you enjoy the new design; I'm no designer so it's not very original (actually it's not original in the slightest) but is a major improvement over the old one (imo at least.)

Lastly, thanks for all the support, help and mentions and I hope my work can continue to be of use.
