It actually shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use their hosted version of files and use local copies instead. > Can you recommend a site or resource for comparison of the differing > frameworks? I don't really know of a good one that has a nice matrix like view for a comparison. And any that do are way out of date. Like any framework, it really depends on what you want. Do you want it to smooth over some of Javascript's rougher edges? Do you want lots of pre-built widgets? Do you want commercial support/backing? In reality most of the big ones (Prototype, Dojo, YUI, jQuery, Mootools) are all pretty good and will probably do what you're looking for. From my experience though, Prototype, jQuery and Mootools feel more Perlish (see, I brought it back to Perl!) and Dojo and YUI feel more Javaish. I do like http://ajaxian.com/. It mentions various tools, projects and frameworks all the time. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
