A couple useful jQuery Snippets

For popups, just add class=”popup”

jQuery('a.popup').live('click', function(){
	newwindow=window.open($(this).attr('href'),'','height=200,width=150');
	if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
	return false;
});

To open in a new tab, add class=”newTab”

jQuery('a.newTab').live('click', function(){
	newwindow=window.open($(this).href);
	jQuery(this).target = "_blank";
	return false;
});

Check if something is in view

function in_view(elem){
	var docViewTop = jQuery(window).scrollTop();
	var docViewBottom = docViewTop + jQuery(window).height();
 
	var elemTop = jQuery(elem).offset().top;
	var elemBottom = elemTop + jQuery(elem).height();
 
	return ((elemBottom >= docViewTop) && (elemTop <= docViewBottom) && (elemBottom <= docViewBottom) &&  (elemTop >= docViewTop));
}
