In this post I have shared free jQuery and Ajax scripts to help our upcoming web developers. In this list includes – A Drop-Down Menu Plug-in for jQuery, Rotating jQuery Tabs, Sliding Login Panel with jQuery, AJAX Loading Panel, MySql Ajax Table Editor, jQuery YouTube play-list plug-in etc.
Nice & Clean Sliding Login Panel built with jQuery
Please note the Login and Register forms in this demo will not work “out of the box” without a user login system pre-installed on your site (e.g. PHP/MySQL user login system)! However, most of the CMS such as Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, etc have a login system integrated in their platform. So if you are using one, read their documentation to see how you could implement this script into your CMS.
Uploadify is a jQuery plugin that allows the easy integration of a multiple (or single) file uploads on your website. It requires Flash and any back-end development language. An array of options allow for full customization for advanced users, but basic implementation is so easy that even coding novices can do it.
Uploadify is available under the GPL and MIT licenses. This allows Uploadify to be used in a number of applications and commercial products.
Mysql Ajax Table Editor is a php script that will allow you to create web pages to edit mysql tables in a matter of minutes. Similar to phpMyEdit but way better. Some of MATE’s features are advanced search, order by columns, edit multiple rows, language support and join other tables.
jQuery YouTube play-list plugin
This nice plugin allows you to turn a list of YouTube links into a playlist. This would allow the you to manage your videos on YouTube and simply insert links to the videos on your site. With JavaScript enabled a nice playlist is created, whilst without JavaScript the user gets a regular list of links to YouTube pages.
nmcDropDown: A Drop-Down Menu Plugin for jQuery
A quick jQuery plugin for creating drop-down menus. Very nice and easy to use.
Datepicker and Calendar Eightysix
Calendar Eightysix is an unobtrusive developer friendly calendar and datepicker, offering a better user experience for date related functionalities. The successor of the popular Vista-like Ajax Calendar! Key features:
:: Quick navigation by jumping back and forth between months, years and decades without drop-down boxes
:: Highly and easily customizable
:: Packed with three themes
:: Lightweight (9.5 kB compressed)
:: Purely JavaScript; AJAX-less and no PHP needed
Tabs are generally used to break content into multiple sections that can be swapped to save space, much like an accordion.
By default a tab widget will swap between tabbed sections onClick, but the events can be changed to onHover through an option. Tab content can be loaded via Ajax by setting an href on a tab.

Highlighter easy for customization. Keyboard enabled.
* Keyboard Navigation (arrowkeys + ESC)

The Fancy Sliding Tab Menu is back and better than ever in Version 2 and this time an idle state listener is included to bring all the tabs back to their normal state after a desired amount of time without mouse movement on the window.
The menu is developed in script.aculo.us and as mentioned above has some extra features as requested in comments after the last version of the Fancy Sliding Tab Menu.
