jQuery‑Knob is a lightweight jQuery plugin that turns a normal `<input>` element into a canvas‑based, touch‑friendly dial/rotary control. It supports mouse, touch, wheel and keyboard interaction, offers many customizable options (range, colors, style, callbacks, etc.) and works back to IE 8, making it useful for web developers who need a simple, cross‑browser UI knob for forms, dashboards, or interactive widgets.
