I'm talking about script.ac.ulo.us, prototype, jquery, etc. Those are scripting libraries, not browser APIs, as you would typically understand that term. There have always been scripting libraries, we now just have an ecosystem where people bother using them and tend to prefer externally maintained ones over in-house developments, mostly because there are now more browsers to consider (and as a consequence, browser vendors update their JavaScript implementations to make libraries less of a performance problem, and giving library developers more incentive to maintain and extend their libraries). -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
