    <p>I was conversing with a fellow coder last night and jQuery came up - he had never come across <strong>jTemplates</strong> or ever considered something like it may exist... </p> <p>It got me thinking - <em>how many other incredibly useful features exist in jQuery that aren't being used because perfectly serviceable alternatives exist</em>?</p> <p>I am hoping this question doesn't get closed - I'm aware it doesn't follow the modern Stack-Overflow QA paradigm, but I think it could form a useful resource and questions like this used to be common, so <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9033/hidden-features-of-c">C#</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61088/hidden-features-of-javascript">javascript</a> etc have similar offerings.</p> <p>I'll start with the obvious:</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>Selectors</strong> Need I say more?</p></li> <li><p><strong>Appearance Modifiers</strong> - Various visual <em>effects</em> that can easily be applied to DOM elements. See <a href="http://api.jquery.com/category/effects/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p></li> <li><p><strong>jQuery UI</strong> particularly useful in conjunction with the <a href="http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ThemeRoller</a>. Also many widgets and interactions. So far, I've only used the <strong>Dialogue</strong> and <strong>Slider</strong> controls, both performing excellently. <a href="http://jqueryui.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">See here</a>.</p></li> <li><p><strong>.ajax</strong> and it's variants (.get(), .load() etc.) - Takes all the pain out of making ajax requests. <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">See here</a>.</p></li> <li><p><strong>.live</strong> Attach an event handler to all elements matching the selector now <em>and in the future</em>! Genius! <a href="http://api.jquery.com/live/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">See here</a>.</p></li> <li><p><strong>jTemplates</strong> - Alternative to the jQuery.tmpl() function, this plugin allows you to create powerful html templates for rendering data client-side. <a href="http://jtemplates.tpython.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">See here.</a> </p></li> <li><p><strong>qTip2</strong> - Still officially in beta, but this plugin is simply the best for creating tooltips and much much more. <a href="http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">See here</a>.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Deferred</strong> - A clean and sensible way to manage asynchronous code. See <a href="http://intridea.com/2011/2/8/fun-with-jquery-deferred?blog=company" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> for basic info and further links.</p></li> </ul> <p>Please add anything I've missed, and I will update my list accordingly.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
