Peter, Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I'm beginning to come to the same conclusions, so it's nice to hear the experiences of others.
I've looked a little bit into mootools, yui, scriptaculous, and dojo. mootools: unless I'm blind, I can't find any docs. Since I'm not a js guru, I need docs or else I'm pretty useless. scriptaculous: seems to be not so bad. dojo: seems ok to develop with, but the demos don't perform very well. yui: by far the most documentation of all of these, including interactive demos. I think I'm going to give this a shot. Cheers, David On Tue, 2007-04-24 at 11:18 +0530, Peter Thomas wrote: > Hi, > > I had recently tried to decide upon a toolkit to use, and chose Yahoo > UI.
