Back to work / jQuery

Development on TypeINT and TypeR has, unfortunately, slowed to a crawl, with a speed of 0lpd (lines per day) over the last few months. I've been administrating a site for programmers called Coders' Shed. Check it out at http://coders-shed.com/forums/, and we wouldn't mind if you joined. :)

Well, now, i'm working on TypeR again. I'm switching over to jQuery as a base. After changing all cases of document.getElementById("XXX") to $("#XXX") the file was over 2KB smaller. That's pretty nice. jQuery also gives much better methods of adding and removing classes.

Want a sneak peek of what i'm working on? Here's a screenshot of the TypeR interface from right now:
Notice how it now shows the keys from all of the options at once, with the current highlighted. This is to help the user learn the layout of the keys.

Be on the watch for more frequent posts! :D
