jQuery Tools is a collection of very useful jQuery powered UI components. Its latest version contains several enhancements to its existing UI components: Tabs, Tooltip, Scrollable and Overlay. But the most importantly it now enables you to create cross browser forms with support for date input type, range input type and validations introduced in HTML5.

jQuery Tools allows you to write HTML5 standard markup, without any hacks or tweaks. Your form will work on all major browsers even in IE6. However when JavaScript is turned off Opera which provides best native support for HTML5 forms will display its native components, other browsers will degrade to normal text fields.
