The Best jQuery Plugins

jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

MOPSLIDER 2.5

Mop Slider is a revolving image gallery plugin with functionality for auto-rotation or user-rotation.

JSSPELLCHECK

Integrate spell checking into web pages as a JQuery UI Dialog. Ideal for intranet applications where additional control over browser’s built in spell checking is desired.

OPENID LOGIN

This plugin will add easy login support for the most popular OpenID RP’s such as Google, Yahoo, AOL, and more. The inspiration for this plugin is based on openid-selector, openid-realselector, and ID Selector. This selector is different because it does not hide the markup details in javascript. Therefore, you can easily add new providers or rearrange the existing ones without digging into the javascript. The login form will still work for normal OpenID logins if javascript is disabled.

GALLERYVIEW

GalleryView is a content-gallery plugin capable of displaying any HTML content in an animated gallery view. Visit the project home page for documentation and demonstrations.

GalleryView requires the jQuery Timers plugin to facilitate timing of animation events. I have included a copy of jquery.timers-1.1.2.js with the plugin files.

I also recommend the jQuery Easing plugin to create a smoother filmstrip animation.

GalleryView is available for use in all personal and commercial projects under the MIT license. If you are using GalleryView 1.1 or below, please download a copy of this license and include it with the plugin files. The license will be included with the next version of the plugin.

BS SOUND

With this plugin you will be able to add mp3 file to your page without any player. Just with custom button.

Just Make your link ( A Tag ) and target it to your mp3 file . Dont forget to set the proper ID for your link.

JTEXTTRANSLATE: A JQUERY TRANSLATION PLUGIN

The double-click functionality in the New York Times was somehow fascinating but also highly discussed because it boldly used the browser functionality to get the definitions of words. Fortunately, the double click now causes not an immediate popout to appear but lets the user confirm by showing an interrogation mark.

This inspired me to create a new jQuery plugin for translating text. Imagine, how users that don’t have English as their first language could profit from an integrated functionality to translate e.g. an article.

The plugin works with the Google Language API and can be used to translate a text in all the languages provided by the API.

You can call the plugin like this:

$(element).translate()

And you can configure the plugin in the following way:

1. original: the language shortage of the initial language (default is “en”)
2. notfound: the message shown when no translation was found
3. title: The title of the translation overlay
4. firstOptionText: the text shown as first option in the languages drop down

10. Use a typical JS call or auto-load div elements that have “related-tweets” class.

PRETTYPHOTO, JQUERY LIGHTBOX CLONE

A jQuery lightbox clone with:
- Theme support;
-Gallery support;
-Smooth animations;

Here’s my jQuery lightbox clone, I did it because those available are either not close enough to the real lightbox (lacking animations, not supporting galleries, etc ,etc) or were just not suiting my need.

It supports all major browser and is in constant evolution.

CJ IMAGE VIDEO PREVIEWER

Mimics the video preview thumbnails you find when you visit sites like YouTube or other video sites, you can mouse over a thumbnail and then it begins cycling through a bunch of frames from the video clip.

Videos most likely are going to have 20-30 video blocks, that in theory could hold 10-20 images. It could take forever to load all those images at once. So I’ve implemented a method of loading the images ONLY if a user mouses over the thumbnail. You can control the animation frame delay as well as turn on or off the image loading progress bar.

JQUERY SIMPLE CAPTCHA

SimpleCaptcha allows you to drop in an easy-to-use and understand captcha implementation for helping to curb spambots on your system.
