A smart and animated Free Breadcrumb solution with jQuery. This collapsible breadcrumb was developed to deal with nested and verbosely named pages. Now you don’t need to limit the amount of date on the server. Its a client side solution for better usability and SEO reasons.

It is smart in the sense that it collapses based upon the amount and length of the elements in the set. The breadcrumb uses a semitransparent .png overlay to achieve the gradient effect seen on the elements.

Requirements: jQuery and easing plugin

The ‘imgPreview’, a jQuery plugin allows users to preview an image before clicking on it. It will preload the image so when a user clicks through to it there is no waiting time!

The image preview shows up in a tooltip-like box appearing alongside the user’s cursor when hovering over a link. The plugin is entirely unobtrusive; it does not require any hooks to target specific links (no non-semantic classes); it will automatically detect the anchors that are linking to images and will only apply the preview effect to them.

Requirement: jQuery 1.3.1

The Google Buttons are designed to look very similar to basic HTML input buttons. But they can handle multiple interactions with one basic design. The buttons we’re using are imageless, and they’re created entirely using HTML and CSS, plus some JavaScript to manage the behavior. They’re also easily skinnable with a few lines of CSS, which was a key factor now that Gmail has themes.

Each button was set up with a nine-cell table so they could place each corner image, and still allow the button to expand in all four directions according to the width and height of the text inside:
