Ext 2.0: A Preview

Yahoo YUI Image Loader Utility

jQuery Chosen Plugin
Without a doubt, my least favorite form element is the SELECT element. The element is almost unstylable, looks different across platforms, has had inconsistent value access, and disaster that is the result of multiple=true is, well, a disaster. Needless to say, whenever a developer goes...
