In the interests of seeing the DHTML libraries expand, has anyone considered approaching someone like jQuery to see if their project could be integrated into OpenLaszlo?

http://jquery.com/

They have some nice client-side javascript and Ajax routines that could strengthen OL. I don't think it would take much to integrate if they were willing to have their code included. You could just allow their jQuery calls to be called from the Script element in OL.

$("p.surprise").addClass("ohmy").show("slow");

Worth a look... then from a documentation perspective, it's just a case of saying that the DHTML runtime has the added advantage of being able to call these extra functions.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Peter

Peter,

What concrete capabilities would this bring to LZX development that are not present today?
