We've recently decided to start rapid development for javascript using prototype, and extended it with script.aculo.us now there are many other JS frameworks that are out there, a few are those such as jquery, Yahoo! YUI, Dojo toolkit, to name but a small few of them, but I've found that prototype is the most uber.

I've been playing around with pretty much all of them over the past 6 months or so and have found it the robustest *new word

We're moving more and more towards web2.0 applications style of coding (we have been for some time, as web2.0's getting old now :p) and have found this very useful.

For example, creating a dragable element using the above. nice.simple()
 

/**
* Use Event.observe to load the above function to the browser once all the code has downloaded
* Note we'll set up a drag event
*/
Event.observe ( window , 'load',
// Set up a drag event using scripto to drag the login box
new Draggable( 'login_box', { handle: 'login_handler'} );
});

Event.observe sets up a load event on the window, and new Draggable creates the drag even, neat init?
