Just another WordPress weblog

Thomas Fuchs has some new controls and functionality to show us inthis scripty2 preview:
Try the scripty2 UI demos! (alpha version, so there are some kinks!)
Those controls are written with the super-nice Prototype class system and custom events, so they’re super-tweakable and make it a snap to create extensions and customized versions. More controls are in the works, and there should be a beta release this year (or grab the code from github).
They support full keyboard navigation and provide accessibility hooks through WAI-ARIA.
The best thing is that they’re compatible with Themeroller (from jQuery UI) themes! So you can just reuse/tweak existing themes very easily, plus scripty2 comes with a special scriptaculous theme, thanks to Samo Korošec.
Bonus– here are two new sightings of scripty2 in the wild:
- derStandard.at Express, experimental site by leading austrian newspaper Der Standard
- Ford Fusion 41, made by Amy and me
