Welcome to the home of thejonesys

The 'jonesys' is a test bed for my web development work, this is where I try out web coding to use in projects I may be working on or test out code to possibly include in future projects.

The site is set up for my own use and therefore isn't really aimed to be of interest to site visitors, although after a bit of scouting around you could learn something.

Example Code

Lightbox / Thickbox / Slimbox
CSS 3
Perfect Tables
Random Image
Slideshow
The FCK Editor
Tabs
Tooltips
Mootools
Google Calendar
AJAX
Ruby on Rails
Gallery
Open Laszlo Example
Canvas
Jquery
