jMailer is a plugin for jQuery I wrote that provides the visitor with a popup email form. It should be attached to a link element and when that link is clicked, the popup appears centered in the viewport.
Within the popup is a form which let’s the visitor enter an email address they want to send the email to, their email adress so that the recipient can reply directly to them, a subject box and a message box.
jMailer Example
The ‘Contact Me’ tab at the top of this site has the plugin attached; click it to see the popup form and send me a message 
The To field has been mapped to my own mail address in the back-end so messages will only come to me.
You should also note that the plugin constitues just the front-end. A back-end of your choice (PHP, .NET, etc) can be attached to do the physical sending of mail.
jMailer Features
The current release (1.1) of jMailer has the following features:
- Automatic modality
- Automatic iFrame shim when IE6 is used
- Configurable opening and closing animations
- AJAX sending of form data to the back-end and confirmation message
- Basic error checking for non-completed fields
jMailer Usage
Using the plugin is simple: Download the source file and ensure you have a copy of the jQuery library to hand (min version 1.2.6).
Then just attach the plugin to the link using standard jQuery syntax:
$("#mailerLink").jMailer();
jMailer Configuration
A configuration object can be supplied in the constructor to configure various options:
var config = {
modal: true || false //defaults to true
id: "a string" //defaults to "mailer"
shim: true || false //defaults to false unless IE6 in use
forceShim: true || false //defaults to false
defaultClass: "a string" //defaults to "mailer-container"
additionalClass: "a string" // defaults to null
suppressTo: true || false //defaults to false
animation: hide || slideUp || fade //defaults to hide
}
$("#mailerLink").jMailer(config);

Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.
Hi, creating a new theme is relatively easy, look at how the default theme is created and modify it to suit your own needs. see this tutorial for tips: http://www.cypherhackz.net/archives/2006/12/13/make-your-own-wordpress-theme-part-1/
I am quite new to wordpress. but what you write in this post is really great and very informative. I think it will help me in the future. Thanks for the great job
OP: I could be daff (lord knows I have been told lol) but you made absolutely no sense what so ever…

Tolle Internetseite – Habe “a little Question”. Mein kleines Ego ist auch unmittelbar dabei meinen Weblog zusammen zu bauen und ich finde dein Design gut. Wo kann man das Theme herbekommen?
