    Can’t wait for Part2 , love this list :)

  • Jörn Zaefferer, 20 December 2007

    Hi,

    could you please link to the accordion plugin page instea of the demo? Or provide both links? The demo page doesn’t offer any download options…

    The same applies for the tooltip plugin.

    You may also want to remove links to any thing Interface related. The project is, well, stone-dead, and almost superseded by jQuery UI.

    Fantastica la lista de plugins, muchos de ellos ya los conocía y algunos que no, Gracias.

    También comentaros que tengo un par de plugins creados.

    Uno para hacer una galería que no está en los ejemplos. Es compatible con Thickbox, respeta standares y funciona en todos los navegadores

    www.noth.es/2007/11/25/actualizacion-del-jquery-gallery-v-0-2/

    Y el otro es jquery-links, que sirve para añadir los iconos según su extensión, y añade un target=”blank” en caso de ser externo y si la página de destino tiene un favicon se lo pone, por lo que mejora la usabilidad y la accesibilidad.

    www.noth.es/2007/11/24/actualizacion-del-jquery-link-version-03/

    Os animo a que los probeís y estaría encantado de estar en esa segunda parte

    Un saludo y gracias por el blog.

  • Ariel Flesler, 21 December 2007

    Hi

    Great post, thanks for linking ScrollTo, as Jorn said, the demo has no link for downloading, could you add the project page ?
    Thanks! Looking forward for part 2.

  • Marco, 21 December 2007

    Thanks for having my humble little accordion menu in this awesome collection!

  • Noupe, 21 December 2007

    Jörn Zaefferer and Ariel Flesler
    Thanks for your great plugins, i have added the download links.

  • ahura mazda, 21 December 2007

    Hi,

    Thanx for adding my plugin to your list.

    For a better demo, it best to use this link:
    jquery.sanchezsalvador.com/samples/example.htm

    There’s a bug sometimes with this demo (hope to fix soon) so that the person has to select a style, select another, and then reselect the first they choosen.
    it’s a browser cache issue.

    thanx again.

  • rick, 11 March 2008

    jquery is the sexiest thing since firefox. It has helped bridge the gap between browsers and help people write readable and reusable javascript.

    I can’t believe this listing didn’t have the jquery UI set of thing. The tabs from from the ui toolkit and it looks like a couple others.

    jquery Forever!!!!

    www.racy.com uses jquery all over. It is lightweight and intelligent.

    Nice collection, shame I didn’t find this sooner … most of the jquery I’ve messed about with over last few months would have been covered nicely by this.
