Hey, I commented on the original implementation, but I’m glad to see a jQuery version (MooTools was just never my bag). Any chance of a publicly tracked version? Maybe on GitHub or something?

January 30th, 2009 at 9:42 amMubashar Iqbal

@jesse: thanks

@corrado: the port to jquery was pretty simple, great work for those that came before me!

@kenneth: for sure, i’m gonna check with stephen to see if he wants to include these in his repository, if not i’ll setup something separate.

Hey hey…. Now I can stop IM’ing you about when you are going to share these with me!
Now I’m off to find more goodie’s and see if I can get somebody to port those to jQuery if need be.
FYI using jQuery plugins so they don’t conflict w/ other scripts is as easy as replacing the $ in the script code with the word jQuery, how easy is that, darned easy!

OH yeah thanks heaps Mubs and other members of the secret order of the 960.

Thank you so much for supplying this awesome framework. It has been a tremendous help to accomplishing a task that has been 7 years in the making. You rule!!

Really you should just fork his public repo and put your version in the fork. That way we can see the evolution on both versions.

well thanks for jquery version, but i think show hide animation of boxes and accordian isn’t that smooth like in mootools version. i always came across this kind of jerky animation when using jquery’s slideUp,slideDown effects.

@kenneth: I’m a bit new to Git (old time SVN user ) but I’ll take a look at what I can do.

@sajid: Agreed, and a couple of other people have noted that to also. I will look into fixing that.

I noticed that I hadn’t ported the Accordion for the section menu in the left column, so I’ve updated the code with a fix for this.

Mmm, showing or accordion is not smooth as mootools. You can see this by clicking paragraph, ajax content or section menu on the left column.

@shin: I’ve looked into this and there is a ‘bug’ that causes this jump, but there appears to be an quick workaround, will try and get it integrated soon.

This is great. When I saw the fluid 960 going around, I was excited. I’m even more excited that it’s using jQuery now.

Brilliant work!

You should give credit and links to people in your version of 960gs. As you say, you’re standing on the shoulders of giants, but you aren’t doing a good job of giving them credit. All you did was swap out mootools for jquery. Everything else was done by someone else. Give credit -where- credit is due.

February 10th, 2009 at 3:27 pmGPSchnyder

I’m right now working on a Website using your “Port” of the 960.gs, and I’m loving it.

First time using a framework, and it works like a breeze.

Thanks for your work.

February 11th, 2009 at 10:39 amMubashar Iqbal

@matthew: I left the original credit text from Stephens work as it was, its in the accordian section as he had it placed. But I will make it clearer.

I think I’ve made it quite clear that I was just porting the framework and not trying to take credit for other peoples work.

To everyone else, thank you for your comments, I will be adding this to GitHub shortly to make it easier to keep in sync with the original base, but also to manage ports to other CMS platforms.

February 12th, 2009 at 2:06 pmafewtips.com

Your work and the originating work on the fluid 960 is just terrific.

I am trying to utilize the framework for a Plone theme I am making.

Thanks very much for great work.

Any suggestions for adding another level to the main navigation menu?
Is suckerfish the best system out there, or can it be achieved with jquery?

February 16th, 2009 at 3:08 pmMubashar Iqbal

@Andrew:

There is a JQuery version of suckerfish called Superfish that should do what you need.

@Dan Vega

I believe IE6 breaks because of this code in layout.css (I think you talking about 16 column fixed version)

#accordian-block dd {
width: 380px;
}

I didn’t have time to play around with it but I think it would be a good starting point.

February 27th, 2009 at 4:25 pmmorozgrafix

I dug a little more and tried to validate fixed layout.

html code wasn’t validating correctly.

I’ve made some changes and it validates now. Please check and see if cross browser functionality is still there. Here is a link to valid html code:http://snipt.org/Ggm

This is for fixed 16 column layout only.

February 27th, 2009 at 10:17 pmMubashar Iqbal

@Dan Vega: I believe Stephen made some updates to the original CSS to try and fix some of the CSS issue with IE6, which I haven’t had a chance to update in my version. I’ll try and get that done soon.

In the mean time you can try checking the code on Stephen’s site to see if it fixed the problem.

@morozgrafix: Thanks for taking the time to dig into this! All hands on deck
