I am going to beg to differ on Dojo. Anything that requires you to break standards to use it (Dojo requires non-XHTML attributes) is broken out of the box. Also, I don't know about the current version but earlier versions have the worst documentation of any software I've ever tried to use; including the fact that the version number is nowhere in the code so it's hard to even know which missing docs to try to find. YUI has nice tech docs and a big community. Ext JS is a pretty fork off it. jQuery, to me, is the most Perl like hitting the sweet spot of syntax and brevity, and it has, in just two years, spawned about 600 known plugins (alla CPAN) and probably another 600 you can find on your own. Its Google groups are very active, 100 posts per day on the main one. There are others too, like Mootools and MochiKit. (Update: Prototype is probably not on the list of good choices.)

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
