Summary


In this chapter, we covered the following:

  • Various implementations of the popular JavaScript pop-ups such as ThickBox and GreyBox

  • Using Lightbox to help your wiki flow better for your visitors

  • Using Tablecloth for tabular data, to help highlight your visitors' focus in large amounts of data

We also covered topics that ensure we're not needlessly adding features that rely on JavaScript to the detriment of our wiki's visitors who do not have JavaScript enabled or installed.

With JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and script.aculo.us, adding new features and enhancing your wiki is quite easy.
