10 Must have jquery plugins and extensions

Published 2007-05-03 by Mattias Hising in Ajax, Interaction Design, Interface Development, JavaScript, jQuery

Below you find 10 jquery plugins and jquery extensions you cannot do without if you are a serious front-end developer

  1. Easy DOM Creation with jQuery

  2. Form plugin

    If you are doing AJAX-stuff, you must have this plugin.

  3. Dimensions

    This plugin should be a part of the jQuery Core.

  4. Interface

    This library solves 90% of your user interface issues. Excellent work Stefan!

  5. Thickbox 3

    Note I have written version 3, I hope this version will be more extendable than the second version.

  6. Tablesorter

    Solves a generic problem on medium-sized datasets, I want to see an ajax-extension on this fetching data on the fly when paging the resultset.

  7. jQuery Form Validation

    Need I say more, this is the mother of all User Interaction Design Patterns, and it is important that someone has taken this beast on.

  8. jQuery Cookie

    Nothing fancy, but a really good plugin. Instead of writing it yourself again, again, again ….

  9. JSON

    JSON is what XML should be, jQuery should support it better in the core.

  10. Simple Star Rating Plugin

    Nice implemented Eye-candy.

Choosing the correct plugins to gain functionality from is an important detail in your front end architecture and should be taken seriously in order to create a future-proof and well built front end architecture.
