Put together some jQuery, PHP, and mySQL to create an AJAX pagination system for the signatories on DebateTheDebt.org. I then applied it to Twitter Bootstrap's default pagination markup. (Wouldn't it be nice if the T-BS guys added something like this to the JS components?) UPDATE: I also added this to ReadyNation.org. In this instance, I tweaked […]
Although it seems a little late in the game, CRFB had me launch a new tool that allows you to compare the budget plans of the leading presidential candidates. I suspect they'll add President Obama's plan soon enough. The site is clearly a rendition of the deficit reduction plan comparisison tool that I designed and […]
Previously, I set up a form to automatically look up someone's congressional district and legislator by a provided ZIP code. It used the Sunlight Labs API along with a PHP class. The problem was that a given ZIP code can have multiple congressional districts. To further complicate matters, the Sunlight Labs data doesn't have the […]
Building out a little enhancement to a sign-up form that provides users with a list of their likely congressmen based on their supplied zip code. I'm using Sunlight Labs API, along with a third-party PHP library, to retrieve the results. The form fires a jQuery-based AJAX call as soon as the person enters their full […]
In the middle of converting a client's old, Flash-only site (aka a site that doesn't work on iPhones and iPad) to a HTML/CSS based site. Converting the formerly ActionScript-powered form by using Twitter's Bootcamp CSS framework and a custom javascript (mostly jQuery) script for validation. UPDATE: view the case study
Just switched this site's commenting system over to disqus (from a previous custom built system). A little PHP allowed me to tailor their system to my site's needs (e.g., excluding it from certain pages). All in all, it was super easy. I then went ahead and imported the site's existing comments, which took a little […]
Launched a new version of the NDTAC's Fast Facts website, which presents data and data visualizations of State education data from the Federal Title I, Part D program for youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk. The Section 508 compliant website is built on a MySQL database, and uses PHP to retrieve the data […]
CRFB's Deficit Reduction Plan Comparison Tool has been launched. This quick turn around project was completed on a part time basis in about 3 weeks. It relies upon jQuery to expand and contract the various rows and columns in the table. The entire tool is dynamic and connected to a CMS, which allows editors to […]
Working on a new project that will allow users to compare some of the leading Federal budget deficit reduction plans. The data/plans will be presented in a table. Because of the great detail of data, users are initially presented with a collapsed table. I'm using jQuery to allow users to expand individual rows and columns. […]
I finally rolled out a new version of my content/events management system, which I now call CMSense. The update includes more than 100 functional, usability, and security enhancements. The new interface utilizes modest jQuery animations and Ajax. A ton of changes were made under the hood too, making developer customization super simple. Here's just a […]
