Is there an index file of what jquery/jqueryui files are in the Google repository at any given moment?
I would like to be able to open a JSON or XML or even a plain text file and see a list of what's 'out there.' My objective is to build a 'choose from' list (toolbar button) in TopStyle, my preferred html/css editor. With such an index file, I could choose to insert the version of my choice just by picking from the list. And I'd discover newer versions in that list whenever they get released.
I am intrigued by the way it shows rows of images which are neatly justified, left AND right sides. I was trying to figure out how they manage to do that so I could incorporate it into an image scroll of my own.
Do you suppose they are cleverly pre-selecting images for each row so they fit nicely or is there some sleight of hand going on with how they size them? Every so often I DO see thumbs that have a few pixels cropped off the sides. What I DON'T see are images where they've been cropped severely enough so as to be immediately noticeable in the thumbnail (such as a simple case of a CSS 'background-position: 50% 50%' and letting what spills over just be hidden)
They DO vary in row height a few pixels +/-, so they must be tweaking the total width of all images a bit to fit them perfectly in a row. And they either have n or n+1 images across each from from what I've seen.
So, in a world where I don't have a virtually-unlimited supply of images to pick from and fit nicely, do you suppose there's a practical solution to doing this myself?
Danged if I can find the thread, but I swear I saw a $.url() reference in here a day or two ago. It was being utilized for parsing out the window.location or window.location.search parameters. I made a mental note because that was something I would be needing to do.
Now I can't find it, either because the search isn't finding it or I was dreaming about this function existing.
Can someone help me out? I rummaged about the API docs and didn't find it there either. Is it something provided by one of the plugins and not a function native to jQuery?
