Question

jQuery plugins are great, except this is about a billion or so of them¹, and most of them however will fade into the background noise of the rest. What are those plugins that are so useful that they should be incorporated into jQuery or jQueryUI (if it’s a UI/effect type) or included in a jQuery bundle?

_{1- billion is just a rough estimate}

Answer 1

I kind of agree with Cletus, but instead of taking the hardline keeps it super tight, why now have a third “jQuery Essentials” and include things like JavascriptServerTemplates in it. The good thing about having such a package is that it could focus the effort on things so that there aren’t 19 ways to do a section of a page that turns into a button when you mouse over it, just one that works.
