10 Simple and Light Weight CMS Solutions

Choosing the right content management system can be an overwhelming task for a web designer or developer. There are so many available, all with different features, it can be difficult to decide which is the best solution for a particular web project.

However, for simple sites, lots of bells and whistles can be overkill and actually be a bit confusing for the person maintaining the website.

12 Tips for a More Accessible Website

Making your website accessible to everyone is not only a moral duty, it’s a legal obligation.

Only 19% of websites currently meet the most basic accessibility requirements, so you can really stand out from the competition by making a few changes to your site.

jQuery LocationSelect Plugin

最新版本的LocationSelect已经将其与jQuery分离,但做了一个jQuery的适配器,可以和jQuery一起使用。而且现在可以支持任意级别联动⋯⋯

介绍

用户的地址选择往往是网络应用中不可缺少的一部分,可是遇到了以下问题:

  • 地址数据难以收集
  • 用户选择烦琐,需要手动查找冗长的下拉菜单
  • 难以维护地理数据以及重用组件

LocationSelect插件具有以下特点,有效的解决了以上三个问题:

  • 基于广泛使用的jQuery插件库,轻易实现组件重用。你也可以选择使用不使用任何脚本库的版本。
  • 地理数据整理来自国家公布数据
  • 自动判断用户地理位置并进行最大努力的自动选择
  • 独立的json数据源,可以方便的进行维护

兼容性

我测试过如下浏览器:Safari5、Safari Mobile(iOS 4.0.1)、Firefox3、IE6、IE7、IE8、Opera10

演示

一个在线演示可以在http://pagetalks.com/share/LocationSelect找到。
