javascript wizard/assistant plugin [closed]

Question

I wonder if someone knows a javascript pluging (preferably for jQuery) to create MS word like wizards or assistant. To better explain what I want is a plugin for introducing a web site to new users, showing some message to do something and blinking in the links or buttons that they have to press to do it.

I remember seeing one some time ago but I cannot find now and googling is hard with these terms.

Answer 1

You could try http://amberjack2.org/. However the Library is not documented yet. You'll have to look at the source to see how to implement it.

Just found another library which appears to be easier: http://tympanus.net/Development/WebsiteTour/

Here are posts that talks about it:

Answer 2

You could also use the original Microsoft assistants ported to JavaScript:

• Clippy
• Merlin
• Rover
• and Links

https://www.smore.com/clippy-js

PS: I would definitely not use that on a serious page ;)

Answer 3

I found a couple more:

• http://mstratman.github.io/jQuery-Smart-Wizard/
• http://exacttarget.github.io/fuelux/#wizard
• http://www.dbarnes.info/jWizard/#demo

Hope this helps
