jQuery listSplitter plugin

A very short post to announce my third  jQuery plugin: listSplitter, which takes a long list of categorised items (where the categories can overlap) and creates a tabbed interface to show only one category at once. I haven’t done a demo yet (well, I have, buthaving teh same old problem transferring to the server as the server runs on UNIX while my laptop is Windows. I recently found out why this causes a problem, but no easy fix has presented itself) so you’ll just half to take my word for it, though before too many months have gone by I will use it as the basis for a new portfolio.

*edit: Here is a demo

And it can be used with jQuery themeroller, i.e. use the tool at jqueryui.com/themeroller, to design how it shoudl look, then after clicking “download theme” make sure you have ‘tabs’ ticked underneath widgets.

      Thanks for letting me know about the bug – I’ll have a go at fixing it some day in teh not too distant future. My plug-in is very different to the one you link to though (despite the similar name). The one you link to is purely about laying out a list in a way that CSS alone, unfortunately, doesn’t allow. My plug-in actually adds additional functionality in order to find the list-items you want to see. I really wanted to call mine something like “listFilterer” but a lot of plugins to do with autocomplete use the words “list” and “filter”, so I thought it might get confusing.

    Hi,

    I’m new to the world of jQuery and as my first test i used your plugin. I must say I really like it. Any chance of providing support for IE6 & IE7? It’s a shame I can’t use it in any of my work because of the lack of support. Otherwise great plugin.

      There’s a few bugs in all my jQuery plugins and I’m trying to find time sometime soon to solve all these bugs. I didn’t realise listSplitter didn’t work in ie6/7, so will add that to my list of thinsg to fix. Thanks for the positive comment too – the first sign that someone other than me likes the idea.
