  7. Steve Slade says:

    Really nice list. Especially love the Featured Content Slider. Hopefully going to be using something like this soon.

    Also: great to see stuff that degrades well, especially when IE6 is involved.

  8. Gabe says:

    Thanks! I jQuery, and I was just looking for a cool slider for a portfolio, this post was right on time. I’ve been subscribed to Line 25 since you launched it, and I’m really enjoying it so far!

  9. Aaron says:

    I was looking for the coda pop up bubbles technique. Thanks!

    By the way, when you designed this website were you staring at a grid lined moleskine notebook by any chance?

  10. Janko says:

    Very nice collection. I haven’t seen some of those.

  11. You should take a look at PikaChoose jQuery Image Gallery. http://pikachoose.com/demo/ It’s really easy to set up and use! Great list I’ll definitely be using some of these on my sites soon.

  12. Great post, looking to delve into jQuery more and more with each passing project. This is a great little sum-up of what anyone could need!

  13. marbio says:

    One of the best collection of jquery resources. ;-)

  14. Matt says:

    nice collection here! thanks

  15. Thank you. I think best of all is Galleria, Lightbox and jQuery Corners.
    Waiting for next list )

  16. Gandalf says:

    You cant beat a Top X article on jQuery plugins. Posted it on IHTT : http://www.ihearttoptens.com/view.php?uid=33

  17. Karen Bodkin says:

    Fantastic list! Thank you!

  18. Brad E says:

    These are great! jQuery has really helped advance the interface development. Flash for video and jQuery for interface enhancments! Thanks Again!

  19. Jarod says:

    Nice collection. I didn’t know about a few of them. This will come in handy. I bookmarked this post for future reference.

    Thanks Spoon!

  20. Chris says:

    Galleria is awesome, but it becomes a beast to load with too many images.

  21. T-Law says:

    Great list, big thanks ;)

  22. The Producer says:

    I use the Auto-Playing Featured Content Slider on my site as a wordpress plugin and I love it. Many of these I have not seen before, I will have to try them out.

  23. Thanks, Chris!
    I use a couple of these on my own site and others. Galleria is awesome, just need to make certain you keep the image size low. And the accordion menu is easy to implement.

  24. J. Shamblin says:

    Thanks for the list. Here’s a couple other really cool and free lightbox clones…

    jQuery prettyPhoto:

  28. Ben says:

    Thanks for the list, I love to collect list like that, will need it someday.

  29. me says:

    Er, uh, gnarly.
    To the Max!
    Like, extreme, dude.

    I’m just too ****in’ hip and happenin’ ain’t I?

  30. Jeff says:

    Another great post… I love me some Jquery. In fact, I am thinking of changing my name to Jeffquery in honor of this great set of tools.

  31. excellent post as usual! i need to learn how to code properly!

  32. Graham says:

    Very nice list. I’d like to see more of this in regards to JQuery. I’ve actually been looking for side-by-side comparisons of JQuery and Dojo, too…..

  33. No offense, but 1/3 of your list are apps that have the same functionality. Why bother showing us the SAME app, 8 or 9 times? Do a little more research and show something that we haven’t already seen, or that you’re not already displaying multiple times.

  34. Sai says:

    Brilliant Website dude….

  35. trent says:

    definitely should check out Impromptu instead of simpleModal, its much more flexible and geared towards forms:
