This is a great collection of jQuery plugins, I may even try some on my blog! I’m always impressed with how much jQuery has grown and allowed so much interactivity with pages.
I use jQuery Validate and jQuery Form with great success. They are made to interact with each other, so validation and then AJAX submit are a snap.
