JavaScript Made Easy: Start Enriching Your Gaming or Media Site

This year there has been a lot of rumour around the release of HTML 5. It does have some great rich features, but that's not what this article is about. Why? Because of the browser legacy the average gaming- or media portal is facing Especially sites trying to target a worldwide audience can bump into serious browser issues.

We all know how frustrating it can be to develop HTML / CSS that will work on IE 6, 7, 8+, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and so on. Put this together with writing compatible JavaScript and "frustration frenzy" can start! Things get better, but still This article is written to help you make your developer life easier. I wrote this article about jQuery, because I have good experiences with this product. There are also other frameworks out there, like for example Mootools and ExtJS.

The jQuery framework is so called open source software, making your JavaScript (and possible CSS) life a lot easier. There is a whole community behind the framework writing additions to it, helping each other and thus save a lot of work. You don't have to know JavaScript anymore; with just easy lines of code you can create functionality that would have normally taken you days or weeks to create. This starts off with easy functionality like fading, swapping, scrolling and show/hide content. Not really exciting maybe The real strength lies in the so called plug-ins for this framework. This goes from easy embed of video and flash content, to drag and drop, advanced AJAX functionality and a lot more just at your fingertips! The product has excellent support from extensive manuals and an active community. Need help? Just ask them!

Still I have noticed some essential functionalities lack in jQuery for a gaming or media portal. The first one would be a script showing advertising in front of the game, while it is preloading. Some refer to it as "game preloader with ads". Another would be a decent frontend for rating content (mostly a 5-star rating module). It's time for me to share back with the community, so I will dedicate my next 2 articles to helping you installing that plugin on your portal. Stay tuned

For now you should start of playing around with the framework and learn the basics. All the information you require can be found on jQuery.com.
