Link: jQSlickWrap

by James on 4th December, 2009 in JavaScript

We’ve known for quite a while that jQuery is brilliantly clever, but holy cow, the code behind this is pretty damn clever.

What jQSlickWrap does is automagically work out the shape of the image by extracting the background colour, and then modifies the HTML to wrap the text perfectly around the image. Obviously something so awesome won’t work on some browsers, but it’s designed to cleverly degrade to whatever your browser can manage, which is pretty fantastic.
