Kevin Miller has updated his accordion control. The new version includes:
One of the better accordion widgets out there I must say.
RegexPal is a great little utility for testing JavaScript regular expressions. It’s fast and quite helpful to those learning regular expressions.
Some note features include:

dsHistory internally works somewhat similar to the other history solutions that exist, but it is implemented more like dojo’s bind than anything else. It requires no supporting libraries, it checks in at just over 7kb when compressed, and it is easy to use. The history is thought of as a series of events that have functions attached to them, and the bookmarkable window hash data is designed to be controlled independently from the events (if it is even utilized at all, which I’ve found isn’t desired at times).
Jon Brisbin has created an XML-RPC JavaScript client called @tomic:
The @tomic XML-RPC client requires ExtJS 1.1, but has no other external requirements. It’s designed to be easy-to-use, flexible, and robust enough for anything you might throw at it. Since this is an initial release, I’m putting it out as a beta (under the GPL).
Ext.onReady( function()
{
var xmlrpc = new Atomic.util.XMLRPC( {
url: "xmlrpc.php",
method: "blogger.getUsersBlogs"
} );
// Add parameters to the RPC call
xmlrpc.addParameter( "0123456789ABCDEF" );
xmlrpc.addParameter( "MyUsername" );
xmlrpc.addParameter( "mypassword" );
// Subscribe to events
xmlrpc.addListener( "success", function( xhr, xml ) {
// Handle the response from the XML-RPC service, which is in the 'xml' object
console.log( xml );
} );
xmlrpc.addListener( "fault", function( xhr, fault ) {
// Handle any faults issued by the XML-RPC server
Ext.MessageBox.alert( "XML-RPC fault #" + fault.code, fault.message );
} );
// make the call
xmlrpc.call( {
method: "blogger.getUsersBlogs",
params: [
"0123456789ABCDEF",
"MyUsername",
"mypassword"
]
} );
}
Pete Cashmore has posted a list of 30+ Ajax plugins for Wordpress that he considers good.
Here’s a sample:
Tavs Dokkedahl has written a small script that makes IE conform to the W3C DOM3 Event recommendation (at least the part that FF supports).
The Uniform Event Model adds support for the capture, atTarget and bubbling phases and provide most of the EventListener interface including among others the addEventListener, removeEventListener, createEvent, initEvent and dispactEvent methods. All handlers are passed an event object with almost complete information according to standards. See the list of features for detailed information on event flow, methods and properties.

Ever wonder how exactly your users are interacting with your site? Robot Replay is a Rails application what allows you to record user events as they interact with your site and then play them back later.
Just include some JavaScript in your site and events are compiled and set back to the server. Once the user is done with their session, you can play it back right in your own browser.
Watch an example of mouse gestures and forms.
Bringing JavaScript server side raises some interesting possibilities for automated testing, screen scraping and Web application development. Check it out.
Andreas Kalsch has written a simple library, Protoload, that handles the Ajax loading events that are common place as a way to show users that something is happening on the server, in a particular location.
Very cool little script for converting an RSS (or Atom) feed into a valid JSON object. Check it out here
Although still in beta, the Dojo Foundation has released v0.9.
http://dojotoolkit.org/2007/07/03/dojo-0-9-lands-softly
Noteworthy improvements:
Speed : Redundant, excessive and backwards-compatible code stripped.
Accessibility: Dijit, the widget system, adds more support for accessibility from keyboards, accommodation for screen readers, and high-contrast mode.
Theming: Digit is totally customizable. Per-page, per-node and per-widget level support is all CSS-based. See some examples .
A pretty nice tooltip built on Script.aculo.us.
