In this session, we'll get an introduction to the David Desandro's Isotope jQuery Plugin and how you can incorporate it into your Drupal site. We'll integrate the plugin with Views using Kevin Reynen's jQuery Isotope Module to create a dynamic masonry grid of content. We'll start with some basic theming ideas to make our grid look great. Then, we'll then add filters, sorts, and interactions to show what isotope is capable of.

• JavaScript: It's not just for calculators and image rollovers.
• This session will look at what can be done with JavaScript (and especially with jQuery) in Drupal 6. While the presentation will be geared toward those with development experience, JavaScript is often used in themes. For that reason, theme developers may find the track useful, as well.

• jQuery, hook_nodeapi and hook_form_alter;
• A how-to session regarding best practices for creating slick-looking AJAX forms in Drupal capable of submitting page information without the need for full page submits, and updating the current page based on responses from the server.
• Discusses the use of jQuery to create effects and interaction between the browser and server, hook_form_alter to get the forms looking just right, and hook_nodeapi to handle requests received.
• Also, a common design challenge is creating associations between nodes during the AJAXForm submission process.
