jQuery Scroll to Top Control FF1+ IE6+ Opr7+
If your pages are long winded, it's a good idea to provide viewers with an easy way to quickly/ automatically scroll back to the top of the page. That's where this script comes in. It displays a stationary control at the lower right corner of the window that when clicked on gently scrolls the page back up to the top. And instead of always being visible on the user's screen, the script lets you specify how far down the page the user is at (in pixels) before revealing the control.

This compact jQuery script adds an sleek progress bar to either the top or bottom of the page to give your visitors a better sense of how far they are along the page as they scroll up and down.

Tabbed document viewer FF1+ IE5+ Opr7+
Using a tabbed interface, this DHTML script lets you display external web pages inline on your page, with the help of the IFRAME tag. This script works in IE5+ and NS6+, and degrades well with the rest (tabs are simply regular links).
