We are starting to use jQuery where I work. I'm not big on JavaScript, but everyone else likes it a lot. I don't know if that helps at all...

Answer 4

For what its worth jQuery's website redesign launched this morning (Friday August 29, 2008). Good fun fact. And of course +1 to its mention.

Answer 5

I've been using Prototype + Scriptaculous.

They have good API documentation and work great for me! The biggest benefits are:

• Cross browser compatibility
• Simplifies AJAX handling
• Smooth UI effects
