overLIB

Web site: www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/

License: Artistic

overLIB is a large, feature-filled library for producing ToolTips. It can be used for anything from standard Tool Tips to pop-up message boxes. A plug-in API is provided, and plug-ins are available for tasks such as moving the pop-up message box while scrolling the page or adding drop shadows to the pop-up message box itself. overLIB contains a huge number of features, making it suitable for many tasks , but it can be overkill if you are adding just a few ToolTips to a site.



Sorttable

Web site: http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/

License: MIT

Sorttable is an unobtrusive JavaScript library that makes a table's columns sortable without server interaction. Sorting is enabled by giving the table a class of sortable . Sorting is allowed on one column per table and works in ascending or descending mode.



Tooltip.js

Web site: http://tooltip.crtx.org/

License: MIT-style

Tooltip.js is an unobtrusive behavior-style library built on top of scriptaculous that adds simple ToolTips to Web sites. ToolTips can be added by using specially named CSS classes or by using a simple JavaScript API. Tooltip.js has fewer features than overLiB, but is much smaller if you are already using scriptaculous. However, if you're pulling in scriptaculous just for ToolTips, then it's the same size .



WZ_jsgraphics

License: LGPL

WZ_jsgraphics adds a vector-graphics drawing implementation in pure JavaScript. It supports multiple browsers and allows for drawing anywhere on the Web site's content area. The API provides for basic drawing, including lines, boxes, polygons, and ellipses. Arbitrary positioning of images and text is also supported. The library includes a mode to make the drawings printable and works by building the lines out of DIV elements. Thus, it will have some performance limitations, but it works fast enough for many tasks .



WZ_dragdrop

Web site: www.walterzorn.com/dragdrop/dragdrop_e.htm

License: LGPL

WZ_dragdrop is a DHTML drag-and-drop library; it offers highly functional drag-and-drop support and an additional DHTML API. With this API, you can make elements resizable, clone nodes, and perform basic animation. The only missing functionality is built-in support for drop targets, which is useful for tasks such as sorting or ordering
