I've used Sarissa in the past for pure DHTML apps, I like it because it's fairly concise, seems to be documented fairly well and supported (for the most part) on all major browsers. One caveat when it comes to SVG and Ajax frameworks is that the most widely deployed environment for SVG (Adobe SVG Viewer) uses an old Mozilla JavaScript engine (prior to XMLHttpRequest) that has custom methods for doing these asynchronous server-side calls (getURL(), postURL()). As far as I understand things, getURL() is ONLY for asynchronous calls only and cannot be used for both synchronous and asynchronous requests like XMLHttpRequest can. I've done a couple simple Ajax things with SVG and what I do is use XMLHttpRequest if it exists, otherwise I call special ASV functions that do the request and parsing. This should give me operability on Firefox 1.5, Opera 9 and ASV... Ideally, ASV would be updated with a more modern JavaScript engine (Mozilla's latest) if they Adobe ever releases a new version.
