This weeks interesting stuff as seen in the Intterwebs.

jQuery

Jay Salvat rewrote jTagEditor and published it with new name:

markItUp! is a JavaScript plugin built on the jQuery library. It allows you to turn any textarea into a markup editor. Html, Textile, Wiki Syntax, Markdown, BBcode or even your own Markup system can be easily implemented.

Janis Skarnelis came out with FancyBox.

Inspired by many other lightbox-like tools, now made kinda different image zooming script for those who want something fresh. It`s powered by great javascript library – jQuery, tested with IE6, IE7, Firefox.

iPhone

There is iPhone web SDK after all. You just need to pay 99USD to register.

If you head over to the iPhone DevCenter (registration required) you will find a video titled “iPhone SDK for Web Developers” that goes into detail.

When you watch it you will see a ton of great stuff:

• Gestures: ongesturestart, ongesturechange, on gestureend
• Other actions: pinching, rotating, swiping
• Full screen mode (no more chrome)
• A lot of the cool stuff from WebKit nightlies (HTML 5 goodness)
