Photo Notes - A Flickr Notes-Esque Photo Annotation Script - Photo Notes is a JavaScript implementation of photo "annotations". Stylistically, it's based on Flickr's "Notes" feature. Under the hood, it's loosly based on the FotoNotes implementation. However, for the most part, it has been completely rewritten. Photo Notes makes no attempt to serialize the notes in any way, as that is completely system and language dependent. Instead, it provides JavaScript objects and methods for displaying and manipulating the notes. The Save and Delete functions have been stubbed out, and must be implemented separately. A typical Save method, for example, would make an AJAX call to the server, which would in turn save the note to a database.

RestTest - RESTTest allows you to construct custom HTTP requests to directly test requests against a server. RESTTest uses the XmlHttpRequest object and allows you to simulate XHR to quickly prototype requests and test security problems. It is designed specifically for working with REST sources, supporting all HTTP methods, and allows you to issue HTTP requests with your headers and data and examine the results to test REST sources.

The Mojo of Dojo - Dojo is an incredibly powerful toolkit that provides a wealth of web development utilities that you don't want to miss out on. In addition to coming packed with rich, turn-key Web 2.0 widgets for you to snap into your applications, it also includes the standard JavaScript library you've always wanted, facilities for compressing your code when it comes time for production, AJAX utilities, a suite of object oriented programming (OOP) constructs that reduces the boilerplate you'd otherwise have to write and maintain your own custom widgets, and more.

Dynamically loading an external JavaScript or CSS file - The conventional way to loading external JavaScript and CSS files on a page is to stick a reference to them in the HEAD section of your page. Files that are called this way are added to the page as they are encountered in the page's source, or synchronously. For the most part, this setup meets our needs just fine, though in the world of synchronous Ajax design patterns, the ability to also fire up JavaScript/ CSS on demand is becoming more and more handy. In this tutorial, lets see how it's done.

Drag and Drop Table Rows With Javascript - There are many articles on implementing drag and drop in Javascript and many excellent frameworks and libraries that provide you with everything you need. In fact I use Script.aculo.us quite a bit. However, I haven't found anything much that tells you how to re-order rows in a table. Table rows are different from other elements normally used for drag and drop such as list items or divs because they can't be moved about in the same way. It wouldn't make sense to have absolute positioning on table rows-they sort of have to be in the table. There are also limitations on the styles you can put on rows, you can't have a border round them for example. So, the solution to this problem is slightly different from other drag and drop mechanisms.

How to choose a JavaScript Framework - A JavaScript framework may not make you a better programmer, but it will make you more efficient. That alone should be reason enough to choose a JavaScript framework, or library if you prefer. Unless you decide to build your own, there are plenty of options available to developers. However, choosing the right framework can be tricky, and weeding through a mess of opinionated fanboys (myself included) is intimidating.

Accelerated DOM Scripting with Ajax, APIs and Libraries - JavaScript libraries have been around in one form or another for almost as long as JavaScript itself. As you go from project to project, it’s inevitable that you’ll find yourself reusing various functions. They become part of your core that you end up copying each time you start up something new. With any good library, code reuse leads to reliability; using the same code on multiple projects means that the code has been exposed to more and more people, enabling bugs or cross-browser issues to be resolved.

QuTags - AJAX for PHP - Very nice AJAX framework for PHP. As the develper stated, "maximize PHP application performance and minimize development time with one framework. QuTags takes the burden of JavaScript away, by not only creating all the client side code, but actually propagating the returned results to the elements you specify using a really easy and extremely fast technique. Code as if you were using AJAX for PHP without JAX. You don't even have to know what AJAX or JavaScript is about. Using this library of functions requires only a very small amount of knowledge about PHP. If you can pass arguments to a function you can utilize QuTags. This framework requires absolutely no knowledge of JavaScript or XML."

Bundle-Fu - Bundle Your JS/CSS Assets in 10 Seconds or Less - Web 2.0 sites have lots of tiny javascript/css files, which causes one extra round trip per file to the server and back! This is bad! Bundle-fu throws it all up into a big package and sends it out all at once.
