Drupal - jQuery

A number of modules in Drupal depend on jQuery(see jQuery reference). And there are specific API and wrapper modules for this nice JavaScript library.

jQuery Update facilitates an upgrade of jQuery in Drupal core and allows other contrib modules to rely on a newer jQuery version. For D6, simply enable the module.

jquery plugin module allows to load miscellaneous jQuery plugins from any module or theme by calling the jquery_plugin_add($plugin) function. For example, jquery_plugin_add('validate') would load the Validation plugin. It also supports jQ Drupal module, a jQuery plugin registry. Currently bundled plugins include: Ajax Queue, Cookie, Cycle, Expose, Flash Embed, Image Zoom, Metadata, Overlay, Scrollable, Tabs, Tooltip, Validation. The goal of this project is to reduce the overhead of developers and site maintainers in keeping their jQuery plugins up-to-date and compatible with a given version of Drupal core.

jQuery plugin handler is intended to be both an API and an UI for managing packages of javascript files. Using this module libraries can be registered into Drupal's system. After registering a library, modules and themes can load these libraries using this module's API to extend their functionality. This module also provides an user interface for managing your installed libraries. It provides an easy workflow for keeping track of installationstatuses of your javascript libraries.

jQuery UI is a wrapper module around the jQuery UI effects library that lets module developers add swooshy, swishy effects to their code.

jQuery compatibility mode allows jQuery functions to be used right along side another JS library such as mootools. This module requires that the override_function module be installed, will not work without it.

JavaScript tools provides a common set of methods extending those available in Drupal core (drupal.js) for Javascript and AJAX^? module development in Drupal. Required only by active menus, collapsiblock, tabs, active edit, AJAX submit.
