Great Javascript Library


I’ve been working on a small AJAX image gallery application to use as a demo for my AZphp presentation next tuesday. I got to the point where i wanted to be able to drag some Images around, and while I could write the javascript to do this, I always try google first for a problem like this. Much to my surprise I found nice lgpl library that does everything I need.

It handles draging and droping of element, resizing them, cloning items, and some animation. I just started to scratch the surface but the code looks very well done.

If you know of any other javascript libraries please let me know, with a comment or trackback.

    Great examples, especially the MS Access-like datagrids , haven’t taken a look at the code yet, though.

    There’s this, which I believe is what Apple uses on their .Mac Homepage stuff.

    Onno I’ve seen that before, I like the look of the datagrid a lot, but for a js datagrid I want one that loads data as needed using jpspan, and im not sure what that would take with there code.

    I’m just starting to use del.icio.us again so some of my links are a little outdated, but whenever I find something interesting, I try to mark it in there under my DHTML and/or Javascript tags: http://del.icio.us/tswicegood/DHTML and http://del.icio.us/tswicegood/Javascript

    Activewidgets does have the ability to dynamicly load data into the grid without a refresh. I have used it to interface with cold fusion, asp and jsp applications.

    It’s been awhile, but I dropped Prototype and scriptaculous in favour of Ext Javascript UI Library (extjs.com).
