First post, but I’ve been lurking around this site for a long while now, and I know how good some of you guys are at this development game.
So, I’m trying to figure out how to develop a gallery/mainnav widget for the top of a landing page, but the page cannot include the jQuery library or any flash objects. I haven’t explicitly checked yet, but I don’t think mootools will work either. Having said that, I am by far most familiar with building stuff like this using jQuery than any other libraries out there right now, so having had that taken away is proving a difficult obstacle for me.
I’m looking for ideas/suggestions/direction on possibly trying to build something like this using a canvas element (my canvas skills are not that well developed yet, fyi) or if a pure-javascript solution is available somewhere… or really any input that I may not have considered yet.
Thanks guys.
You’re probably conflicting with another library, in which case you can use jQuery in
.noConflict()mode.Developing something so UI-heavy without jQuery or some other framework is really not advisable. It will likely take much longer to build, with much longer and less maintainable code that works across fewer browsers.
