History.js gracefully supports the HTML5 History/State APIs (pushState, replaceState, onPopState) in all browsers. For HTML4 browsers it will revert back to using the old onhashchange functionality. All major browsers are supported.
This is a simple test page to get started:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test History</title>
...
Note: state url must be provided for IE to generate a unique hash. YOu can prefix the state url with '?' ('#' does not work).

This example came from the jQuery validation documentation. The required rule can be used to validate a required selection box when you set the value of the first option to empty.

The qTip tooltip hides when mouse is off the target but on the tooltip itself. This makes it hard to click links in the tooltip - when you try to click the link, it disappears. Add the " fixed: true " flag to prevent it from disppearing:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {

In an HTML page, elements can overlap because of position styles. When there's an overlap, elements coming later in the HTML code are displayed on the top. This can be altered by specifying z-index in the CSS. Elements with higher z-index are placed on the top.
However , z-index only works for elements that are not static positioned. Static positioned elements are always at the bottom compared to relative , fixed and absolute positioned elements.
This is a test page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style t...
Effects of z-index can be tested by adding it to the elements, for example:
<div id="bg" class="big" style="z-index: 3"></div>...

This is an example that uses the XSLTProcessor jQuery plugin for client side XSLT. Unfortunately it didn't work in IE or Chrome. It worked in Firefox but somehow disable-output-escaping="yes" was ignored.
