jQuery seekAttention plugin to get the users attention
The “seekAttention” plugin gracefully get’s your users attention by fading out a definable area but leaving the target element (the element which is seeking attention) un-faded and thereby focusing the users attention on it.
The definable area (to be called “container” from this point forward) can be the entire page or any element which surrounds the target element and the colour which overlays the container can also be defined by you.
This plugin can be useful for web based tutorials or in forms (May be in validation). Read more

Make curved corners with jQuery Corner plugin
If you want a curved edge for your element, the best way is to use the jQuery corner plugin. This plugin dynamically generates and positions div elements to create very cool corners. Just checkout the demo page to see the various styles.
Why it is recommended?
- It does not use any image.
- It is more SEO friendly because we don’t need any unnecessary markups in code. All code is generated dynamically and a search engine never sees that.
- Don’t need to worry about changing the background color as long as it is not a gradient.
Limitations
The background should be a solid color (Should not be a gradient or background image).
