Jquery Constant Footer

My jQuery plugins were created either as experiments or to fulfil some need that I had on a project. I made the plugins available for free on this website - and you can still get them all here now.

I no longer actively support the jQuery plugins for the following reasons...

Many of the features can now be achieved without JavaScript using new features of HTML and CSS
Some of the features probably shouldn't even have been used, they were just experiments!
Not everyone wants to use jQuery - I will create stand alone plugins for the popular stuff that don't enforce any particular framework

Want a constant footer without having to include a framework or library - I have a stand alone Constant Footer plugin listed on my JavaScript page!

Visit the jQuery constant footer project hub, which has a demonstration and download for this plugin on JS Plugins JavaScript Plugin Library.
