More (better?) AJAX resources
- prototype
“Prototype is a JavaScript framework that aims to ease development of dynamic web applications. Featuring a unique, easy-to-use toolkit for class-driven development and the nicest Ajax library around, Prototype is quickly becoming the codebase of choice for web application developers everywhere.” - Rico
“JavaScript for Rich Internet Applications” - Behaviour
“It’s great to see public uptake of [AJAX] - but it worries me to see the influx of tags and onclick attributes into webpages.
[...]
After all the work of WASP and others to promote clean markup, valid pages and graceful degradataion via css - it sucks that we’re going back to tag soup days by throwing javascript tags into our html.
[...]
That’s why I came up with Behaviour - my solution to unobtrusive javascript behaviours.”
A nice place to start (very basic example!)
