Show element in full screen using jQuery

While developing a module for Dotnetnuke I encountered a need to show a single element/control in fullscreen. This can be done using a set of complicated codes in the server. However, this can easily be achived in the client using jQuery. The idea is to iterate all the parents of the selected element and hide all their siblings. The code below will do just that. 

(function($){

    $.fn.ShowElementInFullScreen = function() {

        return this.each(function(){

            $(this).parents().each(function(i){$(this).siblings().hide()});

        });

    };

})(jQuery);


After inserting the code above to your page you can now call the function using the code below. 

jQuery('#YourElementId').ShowElementInFullScreen();


I have no public url to demostrate this yet, but I will post as soon as I have one. If you happen to use this code please post a comment with the URL below for others to see how this works.

Simple Color Picker - a jQuery color picker control

It's been a while since I build this small plugin for jQuery, While browsing through my files I try to see if this plugin still works with the latest version of jQuery which is 1.3.2 and it did. I have updated the sample and change the file names so it is easy to recognize. I also move the downloads to my google site, Download here . Focus on the input box below or click on the box next to the control to show color picker. Basic Sample jQuery(function($) { $("#vtrColorPicker").attachColorPicker(); }); Change Background jQuery(function($) { $("#vtrColorPicker1").attachColorPicker(); $("#vtrColorPicker1").change(function() { $("#content-wrapper").css("background-color",$("#vtrColorPicker1").getValue()); });

dnnAlert and dnnConfirm jQuery Plugin

I like the idea of using jQuery Plugins in DNN for interactive and consistent user interface which is why I digg into using dnnAlert and dnnConfirm plugins, however after a quick look on the documentation I notice the following. For dnnAlert you can't set the title. We are allowed to set the OK button text using okText option but not the dialog title? For dnnConfirm. This is very usefull when you just want a confirmation dialog upon click on your button or link however you can't use it like javascript confirm function or at least I don't know how to use it like below: if(confirm('Question?')){//some code}

A javascript library for formatting and manipulating numbers.

Numeral.js , while less complex, was inspired by and heavily borrowed from  Moment.js  so if you have use momentjs before you should be familiar with this library. Numbers can be formatted to look like currency, percentages and more. How to use: numeral(1000).format('0,0') returns 1,000 numeral(1230974).format('0.0a') returns 1.2m numeral(1000.234).format('$0,0.00') returns $1,000.23 numeral(1230974).format('($ 0.00 a)') returns $ 1.23 m numeral(1).format('0%') returns 100% numeral(0.974878234).format('0.000%') returns 97.488% For more sample and options go to  http://numeraljs.com/ .
