There are loads of JavaScript libraries out there; moo:fx, prototype, that scriptalicious business – and Spry (or whatever the hell Dreamweaver tried to offload on us in v.8). But none seem to come close in ease, simplicity and functionality as jQuery. I’m clearly obsessed. I think it stems from an underlying hatred of Flash... and jQuery is one step closer to getting rid of useless Flash pockets all together!
As I’m a designer first, and a developer second – I’m far more interested in how stuff looks and functions... rather than whether the 14 people who still use IE 5.5 can use it. I just don’t care much about that. So this gallery is great for me to see what goodies I’m going to be using on my next project. It’s 37 exmples of jQuery plugins. And as for cross-browser, usa' and accessibility issues, I’m reliably informed by Tom that the whole jQuery community is fully committed to standards et al.... it also works on my iPhone (give or take a few prods from my monkey fingers)!
As always, be aware of what your site looks like with JavaScript disabled and CSS off. So make sure there are no navigational issues when this is the case.
