formConditons - jQuery UI widget that maikes building dynamic forms easier
Creating dynamic forms can be time consuming. Hiding one field based on another field value is pretty easy. But when you have to set up a form with many inputs showing and hiding based on may different input values your code can get ugly really fast. formCondtions plugin attempts to make your life easier by providing a standard api to get your form code under control.
Dragtable - A jQuery UI Widget to re-arrange Table Columns via Drag & Drop
Being able to re-order table columns has been something that I have always wanted to do. Because of a tables' markup you can't just use the jQuery UI sortables widget. After seeing akottr's dragtable plugin I was inspired to create a jQuery UI widget similar to his plugin. I set out with a few design goals; Flexible API, very responsive column drag(works with well with tables that have +1000 cells) and a easy to customize css framework.
ShortScroll - A jQuery UI Google Wave style scroll bar
I have never been a fan of custom scroll bars. Most of the time they are just eye candy and end up getting in the way. That was until I saw the scroll bar in Google Wave. I thought it was the best UI feature in the whole app. It added functionality and style making much better than the browser default scroll bar. So I thought that I would create a scroll bar like it as a jQuery UI widget.

Setting new default options for jQuery UI widgets
I was messing around with the dialog widget trying to figure out away to have it remove its self after the user closed the dialog. I tried listening to the dialogclose event but that didn't work. After playing around with it turns out you can override the default options like so.
