40 Useful JavaScript Libraries | Developer's Toolbox | Smashing Magazine
A good collection of jQuery plugins for form skinning, data manipulation and visualization and a few other niceties.
jQuery File Tree
"jQuery File Tree is a configurable, AJAX file browser plugin for jQuery. You can create a customized, fully-interactive file tree with as little as one line of JavaScript code.
Currently, server-side connector scripts are available for PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, and Lasso. If you’re a developer, you can easily make your own connector to work with your language of choice. "
jScrollPane
"jScrollPane is a jquery plugin which allows you to replace the browsers default vertical scrollbars on any block level element with an overflow:auto style. You can easily control the apperance of the custom scrollbars using simple CSS."
jScrollPane is crossbrowser, working on all browsers that support jquery and it also degrades gracefully. If a user's browser doesn't support jQuery or has JavaScript turned off then they will see the browsers default scrollbars. If the mouse wheel plugin is included in the page then the scroll panes will respond to mouse wheel events as well.
Embed QuickTime | jQuery Plugin
"Embed QuickTime is a jQuery plugin that helps you embed QuickTime movies to play directly on your webpage, instead of redirecting your video to a separate page or forcing you to embed a video using Flash. It changes regular image links to the embedded QuickTime video when they are clicked.
Optionally, Embed QuickTime creates a "share" link giving each viewer copy & paste code to post on their own websites.
It works with QuickTime (mov, mp4, m4v, 3gp), audio (mp3, wav, aiff, m4a) and Windows Media (avi, wmv, mpg).
The plugin is released under the MIT License. Modify and use as you please."
Setting Equal Heights with jQuery | Filament Group, Inc.
"We wrote a script to "equalize" the heights of boxes within the same container and create a tidy grid — with little overhead.
Creating the visual effect of equal-height columns or content boxes has been a challenge ever since we abandoned table-based layouts. When developing complex web applications or site designs we've found that it often makes the most sense from a usability and performance standpoint to use a simple JavaScript workaround: our equalHeights() function determines the heights of all sibling elements in a container, and then sets each element's minimum height to that of the tallest element. When JavaScript is disabled, the boxes or columns appear with varying heights, but the content remains legible and the page is still completely usable."

A pop-in form plugin without all the built in chrome of the native jQuery UI dialog.

All Marked Up / Projects / jQuery URL Parser

The parser is based on the Regex URI parser by Stephen Levithian - http://blog.stevenlevithan.com/archives/parseURI.

Why ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanels are dangerous | Encosia
Good arguments against over-use of UpdatePanels and some sample script of how to replace their functionality with JSON calls.
-
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"
EnablePageMethods="true" />
<script language="javascript">
function UpdateTime() {
PageMethods.GetCurrentDate(OnSucceeded, OnFailed);
}
function OnSucceeded(result, userContext, methodName) {
$get('Label1').innerHTML = result;
}
function OnFailed(error, userContext, methodName) {
$get('Label1').innerHTML = "An error occured.";
}
</script>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="Label1" Text="Update Me!" /><br />
<input type="button" id="Button2" value="Web Method Update"
onclick="UpdateTime();" /> -
[WebMethod]
public static string GetCurrentDate()
{
return DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString();
}

Nice article on how to make Ajax applications more secure and resistant to things like cross-site scripting (xss) and cross-site request forgery (csrf).

Collection of demos of Ajaxy forms as examples of different ways to handle data validation, required fields and other problems with form design.
The Sea of Ideas » Blog Archive » Coverflow, anyone?
Using WebKit's latest implementation (Safari 3.1) to exhibit CSS transforms. It's really cool! Still works but not as "slick" in other browsers because of the jQuery slider, and the author is going to port it to work with the new canvas element supported in FireFox 3.0.
Eric M. Martin » SimpleModal
a jQuery plugin for creating modal dialogs. Has some pretty advanced features despite the SimpleModal name.

Very lightweight script to do the horizontal accordian type interface that's similar to the one found on the MooTools homepage. Pretty impressive that it doesn't require any other libraries and is only 1K.
