Glow is a JavaScript library, built by BBC that aims to make working with JavaScript and the DOM easier, similar to the popular ones like jQuery, MooTools, etc.
It tries to do this by abstracting common tasks, hiding cross-browser issues, and providing a set of user interface widgets.

on reviewing the major libraries we found that none met our standards and guidelines, with browser support in particular being a major issue.

The library is very well-documented & it already comes with various ready-to-use widgets like:

• autosuggest
• carousel
• overlay (lightbox)
• slider
• timetable
• & more..

Several demos are provided to see Glow in action

TypeSelect is a JavaScript-based solution for using selectable custom fonts on the web.
It combines the power of typeface.js, jQuery, the canvas, toDataURL, CSS background properties & real overlayed text to accomplish this feature.


TypeSelect is very easy to understand & implement. It is totally controlled via CSS & no server-side files are required.
It has support for double/triple-click selections, UTF-8 characters & gracefully degrades in IE6.
On the other hand, currently, it has some limitations like unselectable text in IE, not being able to use :hover or line breaks & few more.

Requirements: jQuery, Typeface.js
Compatibility: All Major Browsers (with some limitations)
