Cached Commons is a repository of many JavaScript libraries that are cached, optimized and hosted on Github's CDN.

It is free for everyone and works by simply using the URLs mentioned (original or the minimized versions) as the script tag URLs.

Compared to the popular Google Libraries API, it hosts a much more number of libraries including many jQuery plugins, visualization or the ones for markup.

The only downside for now is that, there is only jQuery as a JS framework and hopefully, it'll start hosting others soon.

elRTE is an open source and feature-rich WYSIWYG editor that is built using jQuery UI.

It performs all standard functions of an editor and has all the extras like undo-redo, advanced table management, creating a custom HTML element with a custom style + inserting it quickly and more.

The interface is controlled via a single CSS file and can be customized pretty easily.

It has a built-in “save” button which can be attached to a JS function that saves the content that is pretty useful for helping users not to lose their content.

elRTE can be integrated with any file manager, however, there is elFinder, a file manager that has ready-to-use integration (can be used standalone too).

Whether it is a website for a customer, a web application or a software, it is always a good idea to write down the list of bugs.

It simply helps us not to forget any of them and analyze the process better (the time they require, better listing and solving them according to priorities, etc.).

Previously published WRD post: 9 Free And Open Source Bug Tracking Softwares is featuring very handy resources for managing the issues better. And, here is a new one:

Quality Control is a free WordPress theme that functions as a bug or ticket tracking system.

It allows users to submit new requests and track the process on them easily.

The theme places requests under categories, displays them according to their priority and shows the latest activities.

Quality Control calls itself as a “base framework” for bug tracking as it is flexible and open to every improvement.

HTML5 has a built-in validation that doesn't require any JavaScript. However, currently, it only works in Webkit browsers and can't be used in Firefox, Opera or IE.

jQuery.Html5form is a jQuery plugin that adds the lacking HTML5 form validation features to non-compatible browsers.

It doesn't require any custom functions or coding. Just create your form with the HTML5 syntax and it'll execute them automatically.

Optionally, the plugin offers features to help customizing how the errors will be handled like the the error messages, where they'll be displayed, their styles, etc.

And, it works with multiple forms on the same page as well (each of them can be customized differently).

LABjs (loading and blocking JavaScript) is an on-demand JavaScript loader, capable of loading any JavaScript resource, from any location, into any page, at any time.

By default, the library helps loading all scripts in parallel (it is possible to define priorities) which is a great speed improvement that we usually see with asynchronous scripts.

It works by removing the commonly-used
