Where did we leave the javascript toolkit debate? Googling does not show any clear cut direction.
I have a question about Prototype. Does it have layout widgets like Dojo (eg. TabContainer, SplitContainer, AccordianContainer)? I don't see them in the API for Prototype. I think we need to make a choice primarily because it will be possible to integrate a toolkit with the screen widget technology and it won't be practical to do more than one. Right now I feel comfortable with Dojo as the primary js toolkit, but that could be because I am not familiar with others. I like the strong layout widgets that Dojo has and it seems to have everything else, too, and I don't think that is a bad thing. I am able to do a file upload within Dojo and get a JSON response and I think that is an important consideration. I have read that Dojo is more Java, workman like and Prototype is more Ruby and elegant. If that is the case, I would opt for Dojo. If nothing else, it might be useful to use this thread to measure where the community's interest lies. So respond with nothing more than a vote if you care to. -Al
