1. Alertify.js
Alertify (github) is small library for presenting beautiful dialog windows and notifications. It is easy to customize with CSS, has a simple API and doesn't depend on third party libraries (but plays nicely with them). To use it, include the js file and call the methods of the global alertify object: // alert dialog alertify.alert("Message"); // confirm dialog alertify.confirm("Message", function (e) { if (e) { // user clicked "ok" } else { // user clicked "cancel" } });
// alert dialog alertify.alert("Message"); // confirm dialog alertify.confirm("Message", function (e) { if (e) { // user clicked "ok" } else { // user clicked "cancel" } });
2. jQuery Avgrund
jQuery Avgrund (github) is another cool dialog solution. It is not as feature-rich as alertify, but it has the Wow! factor that your web app needs. The dialog is shown with an impressive animation that brings it into focus, while blurring and darkening the background.
Forms
Forms are tedious and boring. Everyone hates filling them. It is even a bigger deal if no client-side validation is present and we are forced to enter the data a second time. The plugins in this section attempt to make things better by enhancing your forms with useful functionality.
3. iCheck
iCheck (github) is a jQuery plugin that enhances your form controls. It is perfectly customizable, works on mobile and comes with beautiful flat-style skins. To use it, include the js and css files in your page, and convert all your radio and checkboxes with a few lines of jQuery. $(document).ready(function(){ $('input').iCheck({ checkboxClass: 'icheckbox_minimal', radioClass: 'iradio_minimal' }); });
$(document).ready(function(){ $('input').iCheck({ checkboxClass: 'icheckbox_minimal', radioClass: 'iradio_minimal' }); });

6. Complexify
Complexify (github) is a jQuery plugin that aims to assess how complex passwords are. You can use it in signup forms to present a percentage to users (like we did in this tutorial). With this plugin you can force passwords to contain a combination of upper/lowercase letters, numbers, special symbols and more. I should note that this is purely a client-side solution, which means that it can be circumvented. This is why you should also check the password complexity on the server side.
7. jQuery Knob
jQuery Knob (github) is a plugin for turning input elements into touchable jQuery dials. It is built using canvas, and is fully customizable by setting data attributes on the inputs like this: <input class="knob" data-width="150" data-cursor=true data-fgColor="#222222" data-thickness="0.3" value="29">
The dials can be controlled using the mouse (click and drag; mousewheel), the keyboard, and by using touch on mobile devices.

9. Chosen
Chosen (github) is a powerful widget which converts a select input into a searchable dropdown list. It is easy to customize with CSS, and you can hook your own code thanks to a number of callbacks.

10. Fancy Input
Fancy Input (github) is a jQuery plugin that makes entering or deleting text in a textboox uber cool. It uses CSS3 animations to achieve the effect. To use it, simply include the JS file after jQuery, and call the plugin: $('div :input').fancyInput();

11. Typeahead.js
Typeahead (github) is a fast autocomplete library by twitter. It is inspired by twitter.com's search box and is full of features. It displays suggestions as users type, and shows the top suggestion as a hint. The plugin works with hardcoded data as well as remote data, and rate-limits network requests to lighten the load.
12. Parsley.js
Parsley.js (github) is an unobtrusive form validation library. It lets you validate form fields without having to write a single line of JavaScript. Instead, you have to place data attributes in the input fields that you need to be validated, and Parsley handles the rest. The library works with either jQuery or Zepto and is less than 800 lines long.
Page scrolling and Parallax
Single page websites that feature a parallax scrolling effect are popular these days. They will probably stay in fashion for some time, as they are perfect for sites with low information density and lots of photos – marketing sites, portfolios and more. These plugins aim to make them easier to develop.
13. Windows
Windows (github) is a plugin that lets you build single page websites with sections that take up the whole screens. The plugin gives you callbacks that are called when new sections come into visibility and handles snapping, so you can easily extend it with custom navigation menus or more. Here is an example: $('.window').windows({ snapping: true, snapSpeed: 500, snapInterval: 1100, onScroll: function(scrollPos){ // scrollPos:Number }, onSnapComplete: function($el){ // after window ($el) snaps into place }, onWindowEnter: function($el){ // when new window ($el) enters viewport } });
$('.window').windows({ snapping: true, snapSpeed: 500, snapInterval: 1100, onScroll: function(scrollPos){ // scrollPos:Number }, onSnapComplete: function($el){ // after window ($el) snaps into place }, onWindowEnter: function($el){ // when new window ($el) enters viewport } });
14. Cool Kitten

15. Sticky
Sticky (github) is a jQuery plugin that gives you the ability to make any element on your page always stay visible when scrolling the page. This can come handy in your single-page website to present a sticky navigation menu or sharing bar.

$("#sticker").sticky({topSpacing:0});
16. Super Scrollorama
Super Scrollorama (github) is a jQuery plugin for cool scroll animations. It lets you define tweens and animations that are triggered when an element comes into view, or on specific scroll points. $(document).ready(function() { var controller = $.superscrollorama(); controller.addTween('#fade', TweenMax.from($('#fade'), .5, {css:{opacity:0}})); });
$(document).ready(function() { var controller = $.superscrollorama(); controller.addTween('#fade', TweenMax.from($('#fade'), .5, {css:{opacity:0}})); });
17. Stellar.js
Stellar.js (github) is a jQuery plugin that provides parallax scrolling effects to any scrolling element. It looks for any parallax backgrounds or elements within the specified element, and repositions them when the element scrolls. You can control the scroll speed of the elements by using data attributes for a true parallax effect. To trigger the plugin, simply call it on your root element (or on window): $('#main').stellar();
$('#main').stellar();
18. Scrollpath
Scrollpath (github) is another scrolling plugin, but what it gives you that the previous plugin does not, is the ability to define your own custom scroll path. The plugin uses canvas flavored syntax for drawing paths, using the methodsmoveTo, lineTo and arc. To help with getting the path right, a canvas overlay with the path can be enabled when initializing the plugin.
Text effects
There has been a huge improvement in web typography in the last few years. From just a handful of web-safe fonts that we could use not long ago, we now can embed custom fonts and enhance them with CSS3. The plugins in this section give you a great deal of control over text.
19. Textillate.js
Textillate.js (github) is a jQuery plugin that combines the power of animate.css and lettering.js, to apply advanced animations on text elements. The animations are CSS3 based, which makes them smooth even on mobile devices. There is a large number of effects to choose from.

21. Bacon
22. Lettering.js
Lettering.js (github) is a simple but effective jQuery plugin for better web typography. What it does, is split the textual content of an element into individual spans with ordinal .char# classes, so you can style each letter individually.
23. jQuery Shuffle Letters
jQuery Shuffle Letters (demo) is one of our experiments. It creates an interesting effect that randomizes the content of a text element. Here is how to use it: // Shuffle the container with custom text $('h1').shuffleLetters({ "text": "show this text!" // optional });
The text parameter is optional – if it is missing, the plugin will take the content of the element.
// Shuffle the container with custom text $('h1').shuffleLetters({ "text": "show this text!" // optional });
24. FitText.js
FitText.js (github) is a jQuery plugin for inflating web type. It automatically scales the text of an element to take up the full width of its container. This makes the layout responsive and looking sharp on any device.

25. Gridster.js
Gridster.js (github) is a jQuery plugin that allows building intuitive draggable layouts from elements spanning multiple columns. You can even dynamically add and remove elements from the grid. Dragging an element causes the others to rearrange and free up place for it, which can be great for user-controlled layouts and dashboards.
26. Freetile
Freetile (github) is a plugin for jQuery that enables the organization of webpage content in an efficient, dynamic and responsive layout. It can be applied to a container element and it will attempt to arrange it's children in a layout that makes optimal use of screen space, by "packing" them in a tight arrangement.

Stalactite (github) is a library that packs page content depending on the available space. It takes a lazy approach and sorts the elements sequentially with the scrolling of the page, which makes for an interesting effect.
Custom scrollbars
Something that we have all wanted to do in one point or another is to customize the appearance of the default browser scrollbars. Some browsers allow this, but it doesn't work everywhere. The two plugins below make that possible.
28. nanoScroller.js
nanoScroller.js (github) is a jQuery plugin that offers a simplistic way of implementing Mac OS X Lion-styled scrollbars for your website. It uses minimal HTML markup and utilizes native scrolling. The plugin works on iPad, iPhone, and some Android Tablets.

30. Tubular.js
Tubular.js is a jQuery plugin that lets you set a YouTube video as your page background. Just attach it to your page wrapper element, set some options, and you're on your way: $('#wrapper').tubular({videoId: '0Bmhjf0rKe8'});

$('#wrapper').tubular({videoId: '0Bmhjf0rKe8'});
31. Backstretch
Backstretch (github) is a simple jQuery plugin that allows you to add a dynamically-resized, slideshow-capable background image to any page or element. It will stretch any image to fit the page or block-level element, and will automatically resize as the window or element size changes. Images are fetched after your page is loaded, so your users won't have to wait for the (often large) image to download before using your site. For the curious, and those that don't want to use plugins, there is also a technique that can set a full screen background image purely with CSS.
32. Supersized
Supersized (github) is an advanced full screen background plugin for jQuery. With it, you can show a set of photos as a slideshow that takes the full width and height of the page. This makes it perfect for photography sites, portfolios, or event sites. The plugin comes with lots of options, supports multiple transition effects and can be extended with custom themes.
Galleries and image effects
The plugins listed here aim to enhance the way visitors browse images on your site, and let you apply interesting effects that will make your galleries stand out.
33. jQuery TouchTouch

$('#image1').adipoli({ 'startEffect' : 'normal', 'hoverEffect' : 'popout' });
36. Swipebox
Swipebox (github) is a lightbox plugin that supports desktop, mobile devices and tablet browsers. It understands swipe gestures and keyboard navigaton and is retina-ready.

title="My Caption"> <img src="small/image.jpg" alt="image"> </a> Like the rest of the plugins in this collection, it can be customized entirely with CSS.
"big/image.jpg"
37. TiltShift.js
TiltShift.js (github) is a neat plugin that replicates the tilt-shift effect (which causes real-life object to appear as miniatures) using CSS3 image filters. The bad news is that this only works on Chrome and Safari at the moment, but support should gradually land in other browsers as well.
38. Threesixty.js
Threesixty.js (github) is a jQuery plugin that creates draggable 360 degree views. You have to provide the plugin with the path to a collection of images of your product (shot from different angles) and Threesixty.js will assemble them into a interactive view. You can drag or use the arrow keys to explore the object from different angles.
39. Swipe.js
Swipe.js (github) is another responsive slider. What makes it stand apart is that it is specifically targeted at touch devices.

It has resistant bounds and scroll prevention and is compatible with browsers from IE7 onward.
40. CamanJS
CamanJS (github) is a powerful image manipulation library, built on top of the canvas element. With it, you can manipulate the pixels of an image and achieve an almost Photoshop-like control.

Spectragram (github) is a jQuery plugin that aims to make working with the Instagram API easier. It can fetch user feeds, popular photos, photos with specific tags and more.

The countdown will be presented in the #countdown div.
