I can't believe I'm engrossed by client-side programming. It's like... the earth isn't the center of the universe any longer? ... (Sorry Jeff)

http://prototype.conio.net

Prototype.js addresses cross-browser support from the start, has a wide base, and inertia (read: debugged, cross-browser). It is the foundation library for Ruby on Rails, so it oughta be good enough for my little app. I can confidently write reliable standard-complienat, cross-browser, client-side, accessible applications with this... easily...

If anyone is interested, the documentation is sparse, but here's a list...

You will need a little JavaScript background to fully appreciate prototype.

The jury is out on that. There are several good Ajax libraries. Prototype is a low-level collection of JavaScript primitives used to build higher-level JavaScript products. e.g.:

http://openrico.org/rico/demos.page?demo=rico_drag_and_drop_custom_draggable

http://script.aculo.us/

In my case, when I need to write a JavaScript, rather than start from scratch, I'd use prototype primitives (for cross-browser support, and to reduce development time).
