Take a look at the examples of this OSS javascript toolkit.

http://dojotoolkit.org/

Not much you can't do! And it implements a clean AJAX library as well!

In recent days, I read about several projects that adopt Dojo and rave about
the final outcome. Microsoft's Atles is coming up soon. Wouldn't surprise me
if it's MSIE-only... *burp*

Best wishes,

Roy
 
I'm curious about open-source libraries myself. I'm just getting into Atlas
and it seems to me Microsoft is trying to "innovate by obfuscation" with a
Javascript grammar that reads like some goofy neo-Visual Basic.

Be sure to see the Ajax toolkits from other vendors as well. I'd be careful
in embracing Google because they snub Web standards and validation tests as
well (for speed gains through bandwidth).

Extract from an E-mail message source, sent by my boss (he uses Outlook
2003):

@list l0:level2
{mso-level-text:"%1\.%2";
mso-level-tab-stop:none;
mso-level-number-position:left;
mso-level-legacy:yes;
mso-level-legacy-indent:0pt;
mso-level-legacy-space:7.2pt;
margin-left:0pt;
text-indent:0pt;}

Needless to say, that's not CSS. It's MS 'CSS'.

These E-mails are ~40KB in size. But they are one-liners. Amazing.

Best wishes,

Roy

PS - I had a little typo in Atlas.

Geekspeak for it doesn't work as well with LIEnix as it does with Windows.

Close enough; it's certainly something he might be lying about. :-)

Now Linux, on the other hand...
