jQuery is a new kind of JavaScript Library

jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

Since 2007 Mapbender uses jQuery PluigIns to enhance it's visual appearance. An OSGeo community is starting to form that is interested in implementing jQuery PlugIns for OpenLayers (see also: http://geojquery.org/).
