Regular readers of my blog would have noticed that off late, I am not updating the blog much. The reason for that is, first work is taking most of my time, second I am working on a small pet project, more on it later 😉 so as to get my hands dirty with AJAX.
I was googling around to find out a good library for AJAX, so that I can start with it. And I came across Backbase. It looked very promising, so I downloaded the community edition and started working with it. But I felt it is very complex and I am not sure whether it is worth the effort and moreover I am worried about the lincening too.
So people I need some help from you. Can you suggest/recommend or point me to some good library for implementing AJAX into web applications. I am particularly interested in libraries which work (at least decently) across platforms. So guys I am waiting for your replies.
PS: I have already written a small wrapper function for XMLHttp object, which works in the latest version of both IE and Firefox. I will post it once I finish testing it. Meanwhile if any of you want to have a look at it, just leave a comment or mail me.
If you can program in PHP, you could try out xajax. It seems to be pretty good.
Thanks buddy, Xajax seems to be really great and easy to use. Will consider using it for my project
Dude,
Check out http://widgets.yahoo.com/
They have got some amazing widgets which you can use.
Cheers,

Hey buddy,
There is a difference between Yahoo Widgets (http://widgets.yahoo.com) and Yahoo User interface library (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/index.html). I think you meant Yahoo user interface library which is a set of predefined components and library which you can use in your web applications. But Yahoo Widgets is for desktop applications.
Yahoo User interface library is really rock solid and very very powerful. I am planning to compose a write up about it soon.
