Well, part of it was the nature of the site I needed it for. It was to appear on a CafePress shop site and while CafePress gives some good options for changing custom code, I still prefer using my local editor and uploading the changes via (S)FTP. After writing out the code normally, I thought about how it could be generated programmatically. With server-side scripting not an option, I thought about linking to a JavaScript file hosted on the main ShootingForACause.com server. From there it was a short mental hop to making a JQuery plugin. And of course, once I have the plugin written, there's all sorts of ways to expand it. (Like my 0.2 release did.) Plus, it was good experience in writing JQuery plugins. You can never have enough experience. ;-) Sure it's not the type of plugin that will see wide usage, but it helped me learn a bit more, it served the purpose it was designed for and was fun to write. -Jason Levine -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-PLUGIN--JAddTo-tp14302539s27240p14317206.html Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
