Thanks for sharing how you do that, Kjell. That was definitely helpful. I know I will eventually decide on one of the major frameworks to adopt permanently.
But sometimes, you're sitting lazily at the PC on a Sunday afternoon, reading blogs or whatever, and you come across a Javascript function that you want to add to some permanent library somewhere, and this function isn't in whatever Framework I adopted, so I add it to a central generic utility JS file that grows and grows (and of course shrinks sometimes when I realize I've added junk to it as well.). What prompted my post originally is when I ran into this page: http://www.dustindiaz.com/top-ten-javascript/. Even though it's over a year old, there's a couple of handy things in there, so keeping organized allows one to, on the fly, add something useful that one runs into on a website.
