PolyPage

Polypage was designed to ease the process of showing multiple page states in html mock-ups. By simply adding class names to a document you can imply state and conditional view logic.

BASIC USAGE

$(document).ready(function() {
	$('body').polypage();
});

SETTINGS

There aren't many! It mostly just works.

Having said that feel free to modify the css styling to work with your wireframes. The initial jQuery collection (the 'body' element in these examples) is used to decide where the toggle bar is appended to in the source code.

If you want to force a state to be active when the page loads then you can pass it in as an Array to the init function like so...

$('body').polypage([ 'logged_in', 'admin' ]);    

If you want to set a custom label it can be done using the label option like this...

$('body').polypage([], { label: 'My Label Here' });

If you wish to change the class prefix from 'pp' this is possible by setting the 'prefix' option...

$('body').polypage([], { prefix: 'MyPrefix' });
// class names should now look like "MyPrefix_logged_in_and_admin"

Even the whitespace separator can be changed using the 'separator' option (note only single characters work at the moment)...

$('body').polypage([], { separator: '-' });
// class names should now look like "pp-logged-in-and-admin"

Toggling states from the document is possible using various methods:

<a href="#logged_in">log in</a>
// and
<a href="#not_logged_in">log out</a>

// or inside a form
<form method="GET" action="#logged_in">
	<input type="submit">
</form>

// and from everywhere using: $.polypage.setState(String name, Boolean value)
<input type="checkbox" onchange="$.polypage.setState('logged_in', this.checked)">

If you would prefer be using MooTools instead of jQuery then for the moment you really should checkout cheeaun's fork http://github.com/cheeaun/polypage which contains lots of MooTools goodness.
