By leaps and bounds jQuery, as well as similar JavaScript libraries, has become one of the most powerful web developer tool for adding animations and interactivity to web pages.
jQuery is a lightweight cross-browser JavaScript library that emphasizes interaction between JavaScript and HTML.
Among the major benefits jQuery delivers is the ability to add motion effects and interactive features that don’t require a web page reloading. Besides, it’s much easier and faster to learn and in many cases it can be a decent alternative to Flash templates. No doubt, Flash has a way more extensive list of features, which makes it a preferable option for creating some complex multimedia, audio/video players, animation and 3D. However, when it comes to designing some particular website elements, like slideshows, drop down menus, validation forms, popups/tooltips, expandable elements, etc, jQuery can be a more effective and time-saving solution.
In this post you can find a showcase of beautiful websites built with jQuery. Look through the collection, get inspired and try jQuery for your own projects!
