CalendarPicker is a jQuery plugin that enables us to create a good-looking and pretty original date picker.
It displays a pre-defined amount of the next and previous days/months/years for a quick selection.
Also, users can browse through the dates with mouse-wheel (uses the mouse wheel plugin) or the prev/next buttons.

The date picker can display the current date by default or any selected one on load.
Day and month names can be optionally customized which is nice for multilingual interfaces.
Requirements: jQuery (and, optionally, mouse wheel plugin)
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

Moousture is a JavaScript mouse gesture library, built with MooTools.
It simply checks the mouse movements & catches them if they follow any given route.

The library is very customizable. Variables like:
- miliseconds mouse movements will be traced
- interval of the number of mouse steps
- errored movements to be ignored (in pixels)
can be defined.
With the help of a direction pad, new gestures can be created by simply mentioning their numbers in an order like:
gstr.addGesture([4,3,2,1,0,], functionName); would be a "u" character.
The Moousture is also compatible with most of the mobile devices (including iPhone).
The library website includes a demo worth-checking which can display a menu with a mouse gesture.
Requirements: MooTools
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

Horinaja is a free slideshow script that comes in two versions: scriptaculous/Prototype or jQuery.
It slides contents inside an unordered list wrapped with a div whose class="horinaja".
The script has support for mouse wheel that only works when the slideshow is hovered which is a nice feature for not locking the scroll-bar of the browser.

It is possible to enable/disable slide numbers & define the seconds between transitions.
Requirements: jQuery or scriptaculous/Prototype
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

jQuery Fancy Gestures is a plugin for enabling mouse gestures on any website.
Using the plugin, you can accept inputs similar to smartphones, create a captcha where users will need to draw a text & more (totally up to your imagination).

The plugin is a port of mouse gesture recognition with ActionScript & uses Walter Zorn’s VectorGraphics library.
Every position (N,W,S,E,NW,SE, etc..) is described with a number & it is possible to create custom gestures by defining the related series of numbers.
Requirements: jQuery, Walter Zorn’s VectorGraphics library
Compatibility: All Major Browsers
