The DHTML drag-and-drop library available here is fantastic! The author is thorough with its documentation and provides multiple implementation examples. I can't thank him enough for making it available! I applied a variation of his code in a fun little online geocaching puzzle page requiring users to drag and drop images into containers and submit their order for accuracy.

Sometimes you wonder why people make GREAT software and don't charge for it. Not that I'm complaining, but this object-oriented library has to be one of the best around! I use it to generate dynamic graphs from data in MySQL. It utilizes the GD libraries available in PHP to turn the graphs into images. Awesome!

A neat little piece of javascript that will save information entered into a form. The next time the user visits the page, the information saved into the cookie will auto-populate back into the form!
