  • New code release: Multi-purpose input clear

    Last week I updated Core CSS, this week it’s time to release something new. Well, I say new. I’ve been using versions of this jQuery code for some time, usually implemented to tie directly to an inputs ID attribute.

What it does do is give you some predefined styles you’ll find yourself using a lot. This update is part efficiency optimization, part removal of not needed items.
