Docking boxes (dbx) adds animated drag 'n' drop, snap-to-grid, and show/hide-contents functionality to any group of elements.

And how could I resist re-creating one of the most iconic interfaces of modern times to show it off!

The script can work with rows, columns, or two-dimensional grids of objects, of any size and shape. And as you've come to expect from brothercake, all the functionality is fully accessible to the keyboard.

First released in March 2006, dbx2 was the first implementation of keyboard-accessible drag 'n' drop ever developed, and remains one of the most robust and elegant solutions on the web.

Version 3 has been more than two years in development, and includes a whole raft of new features, improvements to existing features, and bugfixes from the previous version (2.05). See the Latest update section below for a complete rundown of what's new.

As I have wrote in my previous article, JQGrid is one of the most powerful JQuery plug-ins used in creation of grids. Though JQGrid provides most of the functionality out of box, there are certain things for which we might need to extend. I came across one such requirement a week before.
JQGrid add buttons, like search to the navigator (pager) component. This navigator component is placed below the table. As far as user experience (UE) is considered action items needs to be placed at the top of the grid for easier accessibility (and many other reasons,  which I am not much aware of, comment if you are). So I started to dig in to JQGrid documents and source to achieve this. During this time, Rama pointed me about the toolbar option.  But there is no API in JQGrid to add buttons with the same look and feel as navigator buttons in toolbar (readers comment if you find any). This gave me a chance to extend JQGrid plug-in for this functionality.  With sometime over the weekend, I am able to achieve the same. Here, I share the code with you

The Grid Layout Javascript enables web-developers to stick to a Grid Layout quickly and simply by including the Grid Layouts Javascript file and simple XHTML code.
