Author Topic: What JavaScript libraries should I look at? Prototype? (Read 9,832 times)

I am going to be doing some website stuff and was wondering what is state of the art is in JavaScript libraries.

I just now learned that there is a conflict between overLIB and Lightbox 2.

My guesses are Prototype and Mootools. I also need to learn JQuery.

What do you folks recommend I take the time to learn?

jQuery seems to stand out in the webby design places i frequent.

If you have Python leanings and you don't want a lot of extra stuff, perhaps Mochikit is worth considering -- note the originator (this has meaning for Python fans, IMHO).

Thanks everybody. jQuery is the hands-down winner.

I'm going to learn that. Thank you all.

also Visual jQuery will be a HUGE TIMESAVER. It only takes seconds to find the answer you seek.

I like having cheat sheet close by too:
