Flip! It - A jQuery Plugin

If jQuery were a beautiful woman I would marry it.

I say that because I keep coming across these amazing jQuery plugins that I believe absolutely any website can use to add a splash of interactivity - not because you can actually marry JavaScript libraries. The latest that caught my attention is Flip, a plugin for jQuery that essentially "flips" elements of your website in four directions (bottom to top or left to right and vice versa). Learn more about plugins.

The options this jQuery plugin has are very interesting as well. Designers and developers can define the content of the flipping box (works with HTML, text or a jQuery object), the direction they want that content to flip, the background starting and ending color as well as the speed.
