Let’s face it: most web applications and sites don’t need drag-and-drop, resizable windows or sortable lists? Websites are not desktop applications. They are different.
jQuery tools are a set of tabs, tooltips, accordions and overlays that offer those “web 2.0″ goodies that you have seen on your favourite websites. In a very easy to use package.
The components they offer:
- Tabs
- Tooltips
- Scrollable (terrible name, it is a carousel),
- Overlay (again a terrible name, its a lightbox)
- Expose (sort of a reverse lighbox, see demo)
- Flashembed
I would argue that the “Expose” is not really an essential component, but it is an interesting idea.
