  2. Preloading Images with jQuery and JavaScript

  3. Macros in jQuery

    If you want to produce good code you must be familar with the DRY principle. James Padolsey shows in this tutorial how to DRY some code with his Macro Plugin. Good read and awesome technique.

Plugins

  1. wkrte

    Need a rich text editor in your web app? This one is awesome and based on jQuery. It has every feature you would expect from a WYSIWYG editor. The controls only appears when you are in the textbox which makes it very slick. You can switch between rich editing and code editing.

  2. Roundabout for jQuery

    If you are tired of the common image and content sliding this Plugin might be for you! With it fun examples and good documentation you can offer your visitors very interesting sliding almost instantly.

  3. jQuery Plugin - Feature List

    "I love the simplicity of using (and more important re-using) jQuery plugins." We too! And this very slim Featured Plugin is very usable because it only provides the functionality. Styling the output via CSS is all yours. If you ask me, I like it my way!

  4. SundayMorning

    Strange name but the Plugin when it comes to translation. It makes usage of the Google Language API and you are able to translate to over 30 languages on the fly, jQuery style.

  5. jQuery Browser Plugin

    The jQuery documentation does recommend not to use the Utility jQuery.browser. Instead you should use this Plugin with over 300 tested browsers!

  1. Nice list, but quite subjective, don't you think? However what may be good or even best for you may be useless for somebody.

    Thanks however!

  2. True! But since this isn't copy 'n pasted together I need to rely on my personal opinion and needs ;)
