We are excited to introduce our newest web part, our
jQuery© Panel Web Part. This free web part, that's right we said FREE, allows users to add some style to those bland web part pages, or squeeze more content onto the same web part page, using a standard SharePoint ToolPart interface. Leveraging the power of the popular
jQuery© and
jQuery© UI JavaScript libraries we wrap the web parts of your choosing with additional markup that can be styled via standard Css as collapsible/expandable animated panels. While savvy SharePoint Administrators and developers can add
jQuery© customizations using the out-of-the-box CEWP, you certainly wouldn't want users tackling such customizations. Our
jQuery© Panel Web Part allows Administrators or developers to create a common style sheet to promote branding consistency, while the web part handles the scripting chores. Now users can add styles without the need for assistance from Administrators or developers.
Examples using default SharePoint styles:
The
jQuery© Panel Web Part includes options to save panel state across postbacks and page loads, animation effects Clip, Fade, Slide, and Smooth Slide, and even the option to add additional DIV tags around the web part body or the entire web part container giving you additional styling options.
