Peter Bailey (aka beetle) has a very useful script called fValidate that 
should certainly be on the list: <http://www.peterbailey.net/fValidate/>

Brothercake (sometimes just Cake) has a very useful css and script 
driven dropdown menu at <http://brothercake.com/dropdown/>

Chris Nott has a few nice scripts at dithered.net, especially of note is 
the 1K DHTML API <http://dithered.com/experiments/1kdhtml/index.html>.

I myself made a script amending the array functionality of primarily ie5 
on both platforms, allowing you to use a set of very useful methods..
