Maui Jim Sunglasses
The Maui Jim site features a number of slick AJAX interfaces, like this one, an interactive face shape selector which loads sunglasses suggestions made to fit your face shape.
The Maui Jim site also features modal image galleries throughout portions of the site which are displayed using the Thickbox plugin for the jQuery library.

Maui Jim SunglassesMaui Jim Sunglasses wanted a new website to fit their brand and culture and target market better. Working with a local design firm, the Iona Group created standards compliant HTML templates with great interactive features in AJAX and Flash throughout the site. The templates were then handed off to a development team from IBM to implement into the WebSphere eCMS used by Maui Jim.
As a developer on the project, Brian worked on creating the HTML templates, AJAX using the jQuery library, and CSS templates for the site. His stylesheets keep the exacting design requirements of the clients across Internet Explorer 6 and 7 and Mozilla-based browsers.
Unfortunately the site implementation team, when integrating into the WebSphere system, altered the semantic markup and the CSS of the live site, introducing a number of validation errors.
