The Lightbox Clones Matrix

A nice list to have and refer to if you desire some functionality and don’t want to reinvent the wheel. I found jCarousel Lite and jCarousel via this page.

jQuery Spy is a very cool “Digg spy” clone that uses jQuery. Easy to use and customizable. Currently working with this on a client project.

FancyBox is another lightbox solution using jQuery. Not too impressed - i don’t like the way the photos disappeared as you “scroll” through them but does hold out some promise as something to consider. According to the site, looks like it’s also going to be reworked in the near future.

webdesignerwall.com has shows up some great, straightforward jQuery Tutorials for Designers. Starts with the basics.

Auto-populating Select Boxes using jQuery & AJAX is a great tutorial on working with jQuery, Ajax, and JSON… with select boxes. I was able to recently complete some client functionality thanks to this.

This select box manipulation jQuery plugin came up in my research. Bookmarking for later use, since there doesn’t seem to be anything else simliar for jQuery that i could find.

Scott Klarr has cheat sheets for Javascript, jQuery, Scriptaculous, MooTools, Prototype, Microsoft Ajax Library, Yahoo YUI, and Symfony. Quite a list, probably should grab these or bookmark.

This jQuery Validation plugin looks like a handy item to take note of. Bookmarking because the author is continuing development and has a great roadmap planned out.

Dylan Verheul’s autocomplete plugin is worth bookmarking if you think you might need a solid autocomplete with caching options to limit server requests.

Easy to use and install jQuery UI Datepicker by Marc Grabanski and Keith Wood.

The jQuery ScrollTo Plugin will scroll the matched elements to the chosen position. Here’s the Ajaxian ]

This is a nice minor variation on CSS tabs (with sliding animation) that i’ve seen. Uses jQuery, and also allows you to customize individual tab areas.

This is basically “jQuery For Dummies”. Great link, bookmarkable.

I’m bookmarking this “ultimate jQuery Plugins List”, with over 240+ items, for future use.
