Quickview: My First Magento Extension

Quickview allows you to quickly view and add a product to cart (without opening the product view page). Quickview shows you all the neccessary product information in a JavaScript popup box. It also enables you to add the required quantity of that product to cart through AJAX so that you do not have to navigate backward and forward during shopping. The current status of your cart is being displayed on the popup window that tells you the number of items and grand total of cart.Further Quickview allows you to share the product information on various social newtorking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Digg, Yahoo etc.

Google like Instant Preview using jQuery & base64 Image Encoding in PHP

This time I have tried to create Google like instant preview feature using jQuery. All of you guys have already seen the instant preview service on Google search page. Here assume that we already have the preview images of all pages. We will load these images dynamically on JavaScript hover function to show as preview. The main feature of the code is base64 encoding of images. All the preview images are encoded using base64 encoding before being transferred to the client. Although not very useful here, but base64 encoding saves your page loading time because the number of http requests is reduced as each image makes separate http request to the server. But the encoded image is a string so it is loaded with the page code without making any separate http request to the server.
