From an ASP.NET MVC perspective, what do you use jQuery for?

Apart from UI "flair" - things like fading colours and pretty animations.

Things I can immediately think of include pop-up calendars and modal popup dialogs, but there must be more...

Edit

I am interested in jQuery uses for things that ASP.NET MVC does not do out of the box, or things that jQuery makes easier/simpler.

jQuery is fundamentally a cross-browser DOM parsing, manipulation and event handling framework and that is primarily what I use it for. All of the eye candy stuff is built on top of this core functionality.

And of course the AJAX too. However there is nothing especially revolutionary here that wasn't covered before in previous 'flavour of the month' frameworks like prototype etc.
