Latest jQuery Plugins

For the Java community jQuery is one of the greatest things of recent years. It is true that jQuery is an excellent platform and if you manage to choose a good web host (i.e. one that knows how to make your  experience a memorable one), jQuery can help you make outstanding sites and web applications.

jQuery might be a relatively new technology and one of the best things about it is that it is modular and that there are many plugins, which offer the additional functionality you need. There are no many and popular jQuery plugins for you to use and one of the most difficult tasks is to pick the ones you need most. Here are some of the latest most popular jQuery plugins for you to consider:

• Popular-on-Twitter Widget. Twitter is a hot site today and it is not surprising that one of the most popular jQuery plugins is Twitter-related. The Popular-on-Twitter widget allows you to list your most popular Twitter posts. However, listings of Twitter posts are not the only feature you can use – the plugin allows to list the most popular posts on your site or the most popular posts for a particular keyword. There are many options you can configure and you can make the display exactly the way you like it.
• jPaginate. jPaginate is used for pagination. What makes it different from other pagination plugins and approaches is the fact that the page numbers are animated. This means that you can just hover over a page number and you see a preview of what’s on this page.
• DotNet JQuery. You might be a hardcore Java developer but even hardcore Java developers sometimes need to use Visual Studio Designer and integrate jQuery in ASP.Net applications. For such cases the DotNet Jquery plugin is exactly what you need.
• jqBarGraph. Graphs are a great way to present data and thanks to jqBarGraph now you can display graphs with jQuery. Currently the plugin supports only three types of graphs: simple, multi and stacked but for many situations this is just what you need. The jqBarGraph plugin works under all major browsers.
• Mallery. Mallery is a media gallery plugin. It doesn’t offer tons of features but it offers everything you will need in order to set up a media gallery. This jQuery plugin is simple to use and it runs in many browsers.
• SingleEdit. SingleEdit is an editor base on Jquery plug-ins. In addition to its eight Editing modes, SingleEdit has thirty-one Validation modes. SingleEdit supports Ajax as well
• Simple Color Picker. This is a small plugin but for a web designer it can do a lot because thanks to Simple Color Picker it is easy to select the colors you need.
