plone.app.jquerytools adds jquery.tools and some related overlay and form-handling JavaScript libraries to Plone.
plone.app.jquerytools was developed for Plone 4. Earlier versions could be used in Plone 3.x by adding a zcml slug and running its GS Setup extension profile. This version requires Plone 4.x.
Plone developers will wish to use plone.app.jquerytools to provide DOM popups, particularly if they require AJAX. There is extensive support for AJAX form posting. It's also useful for adding dateinput and forminput widgets that are HTML5 compatible.
The AJAX and AJAX-form support is Plone-specific, and is documented in this module. Dateinput, rangeinput, accordions, and tooltips are all unchanged from jquerytools, and the jquerytools docs should be consulted.
