This is one cool plugin. This plugin for jQuery will allow you to create a before and after image that will allow you to scroll back and forth to view different sides of the image. Take a look at the images to get a better look at how it works.

This is incredibly cool. This plugin will allow you to have an on screen keyboard to enter data into a text box. It is very simple, and could have a number of uses. The best one that comes to mind is that you could provide your users an interface to enter their passwords in from this in lieu of their keyboards to help prevent any security breaches from their computers that could be infected with key logging software. It could help make parts of your website more accessible for those users that have a touchscreen only device. I am sure there are more reasons than these two, but you get the idea.

Recently I have become a really hardcore fan of jQuery and the millions of plugins that are available. Today I found one that I think is exceptionally useful. It is called Gritter. What this plugin allows you to do is create bubble like popup notifications for your website. In looking at the code, it really could not be any easier to do. Just a few lines of JavaScript code and you are good to go. Go check it out at http://boedesign.com/2009/07/11/growl-for-jquery-gritter/. If you are looking for a very easy to implement popup notification system, this really could be exactly what you are looking for.

Here is the code we are using for today’s discussion on using jQuery to add Ajax to a website. You can download a copy of everything required to do this project here.
