The lightweight (small file size) and concise jQuery library makes it relatively easy to add interactive effects and merchandising to just about any ecommerce website.
In this edition of "Web Design Tips," I will quickly show you how to combine a few jQuery effects and the jCarousel jQuery plugin to create a merchandising section near the top of a sample page. This merchandising section will show four products at a time and slide to the left, revealing additional products every three seconds. When a visitor aims his mouse pointer at one of the product images, the slider will stop and display a brief product description for that item.
Downloading jCarousel
For the example in the video, I used Jan Sorgalla's excellent jCarousel plugin.
To start, I downloaded the most recent version of the plugin (version 0.2.3 at the time) and got a zip file full of great stuff—CSS, a couple of images, and three JavaScript files, including the jQuery library version 1.2.3.
The most recent version of jQuery at the time of writing was version 1.3.2, but unfortunately jCarousel did not function as expected when I tried to use it with the newest jQuery library. This incompatibility is not a huge problem, but can come into play if we were making use of other plugins or effects that specifically relied on the newer version of the jQuery JavaScript library

iPhones Create New Category in Web Design
The increasing popularity of iPhones, and other mobile browsing devices, is paving a new path in web design.
Instead of focusing on traditional web standards, more designers are approaching a new style by constructing websites that are best viewed in iPhone browsers.
A recently launched site that features the work of Australian based webmasters, Webmaster Showcase, originally began with submissions into four categories – CSS, Flash, CMS and Mixed. Since its release just three weeks ago, it has seen interest grow in another area enough to warrant adding its fifth category – iPhone.
“By adding the iPhone category,” explains the administrator of Webmaster Showcase, “we are opening the door to the future of web design. With the iPhone, BlackBerry and other mobile web devices being popularised, the need for websites designed for optimal viewing in these tiny browsers is increasingly important.”

Netvibes Creates Web Design Tools for Everyone
Article by Martin Manoy on September 01, 2009 at 03:57:01
Netvibes creates web design tools for everyone For those who wish to customize their web pages but have little design knowledge or training, Netvibes, a popular personal web portal, has just produced Netvibes Theme Publishing, a suite of online tools that makes basic page creation easy.
"Netvibes offers designers the best of all worlds: live drag-and-drop layouts and page publishing, deep built-in content libraries and user interactivity - and now with our new Theme Publishing - complete control over every design aspect of their pages," said Netvibes CEO Freddy Mini.
The new tools are designed to make two essential tasks easy. The first is page creation, which the tools facilitate by allowing for the selection of elements such as colors, layouts and backgrounds with no more than a few clicks. The second is exporting, which is also made simple so that themes designed using the new Netvibes tools can be used on any website of the user''s choice without much effort.
For advanced designers, there is an XML-based theme API that allows users to create animated themes.
As more control is offered to web users via tools like these, web designers must increase their knowledge of the latest services and learn to incorporate them into their set of services. To learn more about the latest developments in web design, speak to an administrator of a web design education program.
