jFeed, the jQuery RSS/ATOM feed parser plugin I wrote lately has a drawback: you must use a server-side proxy to load cross-domain feeds.

It's a little bit annoying, so I looked for a more elegant solution.
There exist some web services and libraries that convert RSS/ATOM feeds to JavaScript code, so you can embed external content in your HTML document, but I'd prefer something more generic.

I needed a lightweight JavaScript feed parser based on jQuery and couldn't find one, so I wrote jFeed yesterday.
Thanks to jQuery, it was quite easy and fun to do.

jFeed currently parses RSS 0.91, 0.92, 1.0, 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feeds.

I was playing with jQuery and tables yesterday, and got a weird idea: what about converting characters to tables using jQuery?

The idea evolved and I started to write a new jQuery plugin, charToTable.

I really don't know if someone will find it useful, but it actually works fine.
It uses some PHP + GD to convert a character to an image, and then to a JSON object containing the glyph matrix.
Finally, jQuery.getJSON loads it, and the callback function simply creates the table.

Demos:

WYMeditor 0.3 has finally been released!
WYMeditor has been rewritten to be easier to integrate and to extend, using the JavaScript library jQuery (http://jquery.com), which also greatly improves the code quality and robustness.
WYMeditor is now compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0+, Gecko-based browsers (e.g. Mozilla Firefox 1.5+), and Opera 9.0+[1].
