script.aculo.us auto completion made easy
By Rayed
I was not a big fan of JavaScript, until new cool technologies emerged that utilize JavaScript in really useful ways, the most impressive of course would be AJAX related functionality.
AJAX is really easy to use, put some features are hard to implement which lead to JavaScript libraries emerging every where, the most popular are:
I’ve played with Yahoo! UI it was really powerful and have many features, but it was getting complicated by time, the last time I tried to implement auto complete feature it took me a whole day 🙁
So I decided to give script.aculo.us a try, and it was 10 times easier to implement, and the distrbution size is also much smaller 148K, Yahoo! UI reached 7MB.
script.aculo.us include libraries for:
- Animation
- AJAX
- Drag and Drop
- Slider control
