Today I have another jQuery plugin to unleash upon the bearded masses. Boxy is a Facebook-inspired dialog/overlay featuring animation, drag and drop and a comprehensive API for interacting with dialog instances. There’s also fairly detailed documentation.

Here’s a quick screenshot:

Visit the boxy project page for live examples and documentation, or download direct from the jQuery plugin page. Sources at github.

Update: version 0.1.1 has been released; thanks to Robin Whittleton and Fabio Fedelix for their contributions. View the release notes.

Another update: version 0.1.2 is hot off the platter. Support for fixed positioning plus another couple of IE bugs have been smited. Relase notes here; thanks again to Robin W for the patches.

Greetings rapscallions.

Here are a couple of new jQuery plugins that have been lying about on the hard drive for a while, now tidied up and fit for thieving:

• tipsy - Facebook-alike tooltips
• droppy - nested drop-down menus

Enjoy your stay.
