I want to use JavaScript on my web page. In particular I would like to have a auto-completer (like stackoverflow use for tags). I also would like to have drop down menus and so on.
I think, for these purposes it make sense to use a JavaScript library (I never did it before). I browsed Internet the first option that I found was jQuery, I also found a list of other libraries.
So, I have a hard time choosing between these libraries and would like to ask your advise. My requirements to the library as as follow:
Of course cross-browser functionality (works on as many browsers as possible).
Easy to use (good documentation with examples + active community).
Possibility to change the code (corresponding copy right + good documentation of the code).
Thank you in advance for any help.
Go for jquery and jquery UI which contains a nice autocomplete plugin. It's a javascript framework which gathered lots of pace, there's an enormous community and it is very likely you will find a plugin for every needs. It is guaranteed to work cross browser and you get a great documentation.

I was wondering if the hive mind knew of an open source widget (probably a jquery type thing) that behaves like the google plus invite control.
That is, textbox autocomplete, but selected before current choice being typed become their own span in the textbox.
I could do this from scratch but figure I would save some time and see if there was already something like this out there.
This Autosuggest plugin has similar functionality, might be what you're looking for.
Have you looked at jQuery UI's Autocomplete? I think you could make this work without too much extra work.
I know you're asking for jQuery, but if you ever switched libraries (unlikely), or wanted to adapt a current one, take a look at this post; it should be quite easy to adapt MooTools code to jQuery.
And then
I found the jQuery version. This version requires jQuery 1.6.*, but that's as simple as downloading a new release from the jQuery site.

I've used the jQuery plugin Uniform.js before and it works great.
The only issue I have is that it relies on jQuery. I'm working on a project that really doesn't need jQuery, and I'm reluctant to load an entire framework just for one plugin.
Does anyone know of another plugin that does what Uniform does but doesn't rely on any frameworks?
My guess is that you're not going to gain much by avoiding jQuery, and you're probably going to waste a lot of time even if you do find something that suits your needs. I mean, it's only 31KB (plus the size of the plugin).
If you're set on not using jQuery, maybe have a look at NiceForms.
There are some demos on this page, and the script file is under 10kb when packed.

In the process of converting a .NET rich application to Javascript. One of the GUI features folks liked a lot was to rearrange their application layout. In .NET this was accomplished via Sandock:
http://www.divelements.com/net/controls/sanddock/screenshots.aspx
Anything like this for Javascript?
The closest I know to that is the javascript library ExtJS. I've used it in a few projects very successfully since it allows you to create rich Web UIs very similar to windows UIs (or widgets).
The learning curve can be a bit steep though if you aren't that familiar with javascript, however the community is quick to respond and helpful.
If ExtJS is not your cup of tea, there is a rather nice jquery port of the same concept.
Demos here:
http://layout.jquery-dev.net/demos.cfm (particularly this)
I needed this very thing, and did not find any to my liking so I decided to write my own. It is almost complete, but you can check it out here:
Edit: Still being developed actively, but fully functional now.

If you are still looking for a javascript dock panel implmentation, I just created one myself. You can find it at https://github.com/developerDoug/HtmlJavascriptDockInVS2010

I am looking for a Javascript calendar with support for drag-and-drop, extensive events model (drag, drop, deletion/adding of items).
Also has to be capable of displaying a schedule for multiple persons. That'd be something similar to "Multiple Resources" view of http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxScheduler/index.shtml
Free/paid does not matter. Has to work across major browsers.
Thanks!
I'm not sure whether it can do multiple schedules out of the box, but check out the JQuery based FullCalendar.
As it turned out, writing my own calendar, based on jQuery's draggable/droppable UI component is not that hard, and is way more flexible and extensible. There are some WTFs along the way, mostly to do with weird behaviour of dragging/dropping in IE(7/8) and some weirdness around snap to grid behaviour in jQuery UI's draggable, but I think it would take longer if I just took an existing control and tried to customise it.
For scheduling multiple resources I'd recommend the Ext Scheduler, it's built entirely in JavaScript. In the examples section you'll find lots of demos showing its different features.

I'm looking for a javascript library (could be based on jQuery) that will implement a client side Form Editor.
The perfect example is something like offered by http://wufoo.com/
You should play with their free version to get the feeling of what I'm trying to find.
Also see this example someone made with jQuery. it is very basic, but a step in the right direction.
Do you know of any jQuery plugin or library that will give me the full functionality of form editing?
I would recommend the awesome ExtJS framework to build such kind of application. Here's an example of what you can do.
ext/formbuilder
Add a form panel, then drop a textbox and so on...dead simple. Ext JS 2.2 and 3.0 (not yet ready) are LGPL and GPL licensed, you have also commercial subscriptions available, I think it worth to have a look at it.
Try the jQuery Form Builder plug-in from Botsko
I had the same problem and wrote one. Github link: SpiffForm.
