OK, so allot of you are asking me, why move from mootools? Simple really, my answer to them was jQuery. jQuery can help you make your website more interactive, fun and more web 2.0. In short jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. So here is a small list of great plugins for this fantastic framework.

1) Accordion Content/ Menu script

A jQuery powered accordion content script. Group contents together and reveal them on demand when the user clicks on headers. Specify whether only one content within the group should be open at any given time, style the headers depending on their content state, and enable persistence so the state of the contents is preserved within a browser session.

2) Ajax Tooltip script

This script enhances the default “title” attribute of HTML so certain tooltips can instead get their contents from an external file, with rich HTML content and all.

3) Animated Collapsible DIV

This script collapses any DIV on the page and lets users manually toggle its appearance via a smooth “Web 2.0 style” animation.
