I hope the past few posts on the most useful jQuery plugins from 2011 have been helpful. A nice pool of resources for you to check out as you develop and design. There’s nothing worse than having absolutely no starting point or point of reference when you’re looking for a solution. There’s so much crappy stuff out there, hopefully these lists will help you out!
Here’s a look at some of the most useful jQuery plugins for both modal window and mobile:
Modal Window Plugins
Reveal
Reveal makes setting up modals easy with just three steps.
Attach the needed files, drop in your modal markup then add an attribute to your button.
leanModal
This is a simple jQuery modal plugin that works with your CSS. Create sign up forms, basic content modals, and more.
Mobile Plugins
Overscroll
This is cool. Overscroll mimics the iPhone/iPad scrolling experience in a browser.
The plugin adds a draggable drift to overflowed DOM elements as well as a set of fading ‘thumbs’. Runs on most modern browsers.
jQuery Mobile
This is a touch-optimized web framework for smartphones and tablets. With a unified, HTML5-based user interface system for all popular mobile device platforms, it’s really slick. It’s lightweight, built with progressive enhancement, and it’s a flexible, easily theme-able design.
PhotoSwipe
PhotoSwipe is a free HTML/CSS/JavaScript based image gallery specifically targeting mobile devices.
jQuery.fracs
jQuery.fracs determines the fraction of an HTML element that is currently in the viewport, as well as the fraction it takes of the complete viewport and the fraction of the area that might possibly be visible. It also provides the coordinates of the visible rectangle in document, element and viewport space.
