Great Roundup. I especially like the Uni-Form one. I was disappointed with fancy upload as it appears to be Flash based.
Again, thanks.

I really like #1 on the list, that JavaScript Image Menu. The other tools look good to, I just need to look deeper into using them.
For DrasticMap a better demo link would be:
http://www.drasticdata.nl/DrasticTools/ExampleMapGrid2.php
It shows the same map, but interacting with the data in the grid.
i already use #10 in my blog.
