Consider a scenario. I have to select multiple categories and submit to database. The orthodox method is to provide checkboxes. But we can have a colorful method by using the following steps:

• Create an ordered list with inline-block display style

• Using jQUery UI, make it as “Selectable” widget.

Now I can see all items in a better visualization and select (multiple) required items before submit.

$("#myOrderedListSelecatableAsHeaderPart").selectable();

Refer: jQuery Selectable Customization

In effect, it becomes a new control. Similarly, what are the other changes brought in by utilizing jQuery features?

  • What is the question? Are you worried about side effects of jQuery, or fishing for ideas what can be done with jQuery? – Martin Algesten Feb 09 '12 at 14:15
  • I am not worried about such a helpful library. :-) I am trying to find out enhanced user experience that can be achieved using jQuery. – LCJ Feb 10 '12 at 05:49

That question can't really be answered in a concise way. jQuery is a toolkit where, for instance, .animate(), can be applied to most css values making your imagination the limit for what effects can be done. This is even more true with all CSS3 things happening.

Many pre-packaged effects use methods like animate() under the hood.

That said, here are a couple of sites to get your inspiration going, many also provide the effects as packaged up code:
