Web Components
For use with some of the frameworks listed on WebFrameworks, the components/libraries/toolkits on this page often attempt to solve common problems in a way that can work with more than one particular framework; the idea being that you choose the component which does a particular job and it hopefully works with the framework you're developing your application in.
