We usually put some ads on our website or web application. We need a system to display different campaigns and monitor the performance of campaigns. Openads is the best open source ads management tool I have even seen. Tens of thousands of websites are using Openads to make money from online advertising.
Ads can come in all sorts of formats from images to movies, flash to popups and everything in between. Openads administrative interface lets you choose to enable or disable a campaign at any time.

When we are developing web services or web applications, we need users to input dates sometimes. We would like users input dates in a certain format so the data can be manipulate easily. If we ask users to input dates in certain format manually, it will be very clumsy. Therefore, a good date picker or calendar is needed. Users can click on the calendar icon, a calendar will pop up and let the user choose the date. The date will be input into a specific text field after choosing a certain date from the calendar.

Sometime, we need a way to show one or a set of images in a more elegant way. Lightbox is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the web pages. It is extremely easy to setup and works on all modern browsers. The best thing of it is that if you have a set of images, the script will preload all images before you clicked to the next image. So that you do not have to wait for loading everytime you click to the next image.
* Lightbox uses the Prototype Framework and Scriptaculous Effects Library.
Requirements: Any Modern Browsers
