50 Websites that make amazing use of javascript

The use of Javascript frameworks like jQuery, Mootools and Prototype, developers created stunning javascript solutions and effects for their websites.

Below are 50 inspiring Websites that make good use of Javascript, Websites which I have collected over time for inspiration purpose. Some of them are selected purely on look and feel, some have really extraordinary Javascript functions that have been implemented.

Tabs

aviary

Aviary - http://aviary.com/

Aviary uses very sleek tabs with a nice fading transition to give visitors a short introduction to the service. The javascript improved dropdown menu is very nice as well.

toolani

Toolani - http://www.toolani.de/

Billig telefonieren - (translation: cheap phoning), is not the only thing this german startup offers: the website includes very nice jQuery tabs at the bottom of the yellow content box along with various other effects like ajaxed form validation and a sliding login button.
podcasttuneup

Podcasttuneup - http://www.podcast-tuneup.com/

Slick tabs with an interesting slideup/slidedown motion. You should also check the sleek transparent login form, that fades in as soon as you click the login button.

adworks

The tabs lack a stylish fading transitions like the aforementioned examples, but I really like the big icons, since they are really begging for a click =)
