50 free and easy-to-modify AJAX tools

PaulSpoerry | May 26, 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

If you use AJAX already for your Web 2.0 projects or are just thinking about it and need information, check out this one-stop source of AJAX plug-ins. In addition to free code that covers things from fish-eye effects for icon browsing to auto completion text fields Ajaxdaddy shows you the code, and gives you a sandbox area to get a feel for how the widget performs and to do some experimentation.

But the best part of AjaxDaddy is that you can first check out how the applet works – the user interface, and performance aspects. You can even mess with some of the html code to see how it reacts to my potential changes from the sandbox area.

So go have a look over at AjaxDaddy.com and get some of their free web 2.0 lovinâ€™ for yourself or hit up the individual AJAX sections below:
