I am starting a pretty big AJAX project, and we are trying to decide to use a ‘framework’ vs straight Javascript. I am pushing for straight JS but the team is leaning towards the frameworks, which are admittedly easier to use. The problem I am running into is the lack of libraries in JS. You miss the little things like string.trim() and string.format(). Next week I am going to look into some various utility and string libs, if I find anything decent I’ll shoot you a link.
