It is intended to be a resource from which you pick and choose &#8211; you do not have to include the entire library in your application. It contains core <span class="caps">DOM</span>/Style functions, unobtrusive enhancements, utility functions, objects such as menus and tab panels, and also has some experimental stuff. I&#8217;ve been developing this library since 2001 (I started its predecessor around 1999). Thanks to thousands of people like yourself X has been extensively tested on a wide range of operating systems and browsers. Thanks to your contributions X continues to improve, grow and evolve.</p> <p>The X Library is distributed under the terms of the <span class="caps">GNU</span> <a class="wikilink" href="http://swik.net/LGPL"><span class="caps">LGPL</span></a>.</p> <p>Users are encouraged to submit feedback and/or code to improve the library itself or its compatibility with various <a class="wikilink" href="http://swik.net/web-browser">web browser</a>s.</p> X-Library User:mikefoster License:LGPL widgets cross-browser dhtml JavaScript Library Ajax Framework Thu, 07 Sep 2006 12:57:42 -0700
