They also don't work, even a little, in Safari.

 From a purist point of view I'm happy to blame Safari
for that, but it's pretty much a deal-breaker for any
website that you want the general public to be able
to use. I'd love to be able to use some of the neat
features, but I don't want to have to implement
two (or more) websites to cope with different browsers.

All the jquery-based plugins I've tried so far seem to
work fine in all recent browsers that have javascript,
which trumps the other issues for me right now.
