Posted by Praveen Gowda I V in Articles, General, Web Design on July 13, 2012
It has been quite some time since we announced that we will be back with a redesign for our blog, but the reason that it is so much long is because we are not only redesigning but also updating each and every tutorial, adding new features.

- Rewriting the jQuery code to support multiple notifications to be displayed at the same time
- Clean the HTML code to make it much lighter
- New feature to display notifications whenever there is a addition to database
- and Much more …
- HTML5 & Ajax Contact Form
- We will not update this tutorial but a complete new contact form tutorial will be made which we promise to be one of the best HTML5 and CSS3 forms tutorials you would have ever come across
- New tutorial will be completely HTML5 with more fields like detecting location and file upload and a lot more coming soon.
- PHP login script with advanced features
- We have some huge plans for this one but immediately we will publish an update which will fix the php short tag problem as well as the depreciated function errors which many of our users are facing.This update has arrived and the download link has been updated, we request everyone who had problems with the previous version to download the new files
- The next major update will include
- User registration and log in using Facebook and Twitter (others will be coming soon)
- Email confirmation for newly registered users
- Support for the Admin to Activate newly registered users
- New look and feel to the login system using HTML5 and CSS3
- and much more coming soon
Hope you all will find the updates to be useful, the updates are getting delayed due to some personal projects, hence I request your patience and I will make sure that I start rolling updates as soon as possible & also we have a huge range of new useful tutorials in the draft which will be published soon.
We are also working on lot more educational sites and we will let you know as soon as we are ready to launch, until then have a great time.
Thanks,
Praveen

JavaScript
We use jQuery to:
- display the beeper on clicking on the button
- hide the beeper after five seconds
- prevent the hiding of beeper on mouseover
- hide the beeper after five seconds of mouseout
$(document).ready(function () {
// set the time for the beeper to be displayed as 5000 milli seconds (5 seconds)
var timerId, delay = 5000;
var a = $("#BeeperBox"),
b = $("a.control");;
//function to destroy the timeout
function stopHide() {
clearTimeout(timerId);
}
//function to display the beeper and hide it after 5 seconds
function showTip() {
a.show();
timerId = setTimeout(function () {
a.hide();
}, delay);
}
//function to hide the beeper after five seconds
function startHide() {
timerId = setTimeout(function () {
a.hide();
}, delay);
}
//display the beeper on cliking the "show beeper" button
b.click(showTip);
//Clear timeout to hide beeper on mouseover
//start timeout to hide beeper on mouseout
a.mouseenter(stopHide).mouseleave(startHide);
$('.beeper_x').click(function () {
//hide the beeper when the close button on the beeper is clicked
$("#BeeperBox").hide();
});
});
