Snappy Javascript

The article "10 JavaScript Effects to Boost Your Website's Fanciness Factor" writes about 10 Jvascripts to create 10 snappy special effects. All of them are said  to be easy to implement, (however, I am yet to check out how easily to incoorperate into asp .net server pages). About half of them are from mootools framework (yak, the last I want is another framework).

The following are those that do not need the mootool framework.
 
1.  Greybox. A non-instrusive pop up on top of the current window.

2. Instant.js. Add special effect to images, slant it, shadow-dressing it.

3. AmberJack: Site Tour Creator. Similar to Greybox. A lightweight JavaScript library that allows you to create a scripted website tour, allowing users to visit key web pages in real-time with a small description box on each page

4. ImageFlow. Works a little like a dynamic layered picture frame.

5. Image magnifier. I have seen such magnifier before, however, this one actually allows you to both zoom in and zoom out.
