Smaller, faster, richer and more stable

After ten weeks of creative free time and two months of hard work it's time to shake up the web again. This version of jQuery Tools is even smaller than before: 5.68 kB of (pollution free) web engine fuel. Some of the highlights include

completely free CDN for production use
overlay plugin and effect framework
circular infinite scrollable
overlay gallery plugin
dynamic positioning of the tooltip
global configuration
few important Internet Explorer fixes

Essential tools for modern websites

Let's face it: Do you really need drag and drop, resizables, selectables, modal dialogs or sliders in your web applications? Websites are not desktop applications. They are different.

What you really need is tabs, tooltips, accordions, overlays, smooth navigations, great visual effects and all those "web 2.0" goodies that you have seen on your favourite website.

This open source library contains six most useful JavaScript tools for todays web. The beauty of this library is that all tools can be used together, extented, configured and styled. At the end you can have hundreds of different widgets and new personal ways of using the library.
