Ok, so you look around the internet and see all of these cool menus with effects attached to it. I’m guessing you immediately think that it’s Flash, but more than likely it isn’t. There’s a code base that if utilized to its full extent can provide you with some pretty cool features to add to your site.

The latest example that I created was for a site called PS3Trophies.co.uk. If you browse around the interactive menu on the top of the screen, this gives you an idea of what JQuery can do.  If you look at the core of JQuery, you’ll find some pretty complex code.  Luckily, you don’t have to deal with most of it. In fact if you find a good tutorial, or find someone who doesn’t mind sharing you can create something in JQuery very easily.

A good start is to visit jquery.com. Here you’ll find some tutorials, tips, and more about what the JQuery script can do. Once you have the code you need, the rest is just adjusting your CSS, and HTML.

Has anyone used JQuery for their sites? If so, have you found it simple to use with tutorials?
