Guidelines

- All HowTo's are publicly viewable, and released under the MIT and GPL licenses (the same as jQuery itself). Posting your HowTo is granting permission for it to be treated in this manner.
- Your HowTo title should be in the form of "How to . . ." whenever possible. For example "How to contribute to jQuery HowTo's".
- Embed any sample code in the <code> tags.
- Your HowTo should be on a single topic and be as concise as possible while still leading someone through the necessary instruction.
- Assume the person reading your HowTo is new to jQuery. But also assume they are looking for the specific goal of your HowTo. For instance, if the HowTo is "How to slide content up or down", the focus should be on the .slideUp() and .slideDown() methods - not on the selectors, or the .hide()/.show() methods.
- Where appropriate, link back to the official documentation. If needed, provide a Resources section at the bottom of the posting with a list of pertinent links.
- Review the existing postings before creating a new one. Avoid duplication. Feel free to leave a comment on an existing post.
- Select any pertinent categories. The target user level is strongly recommended, and the jQuery version number is encouraged where appropriate. For tags, enter a comma delimited list of keywords for the post.
- For postings that are not very basic, code examples are encouraged. The full HTML with pertinent styles and JavaScript should be considered. This will allow a researcher to cut and paste the code and work with it on their own terms.
