Pausing an animation with jQuery
Starting an animation with jQuery is easy.
Stopping an animation with jQuery is easy.

Well, not so easy – so I dug in and figured a way to make this work cross-browser.

Background animation using jQuery
You can actually animate a background image with jQuery – though it’s not as easy as it sounds.

Creating a namespace in JavaScript

JavaScript logging in console and window
