What is the best ajax framework?

[Edward W]

I have found jQuery, MooTools and Solutoire but have no idea which one I should use in my latest project. I don't know javascript very well (I fumbled my way through making my last Ajax chat script) and would like an easy to use and 'frill-free' Ajax framework.Something with decent community support is preferred. Thanks!

The 'best' is open to heated debate.The most popular is probably prototype(1), which has been extended by scriptaculous(2), with internal windows(3) , then there's Rico(4), based on prototype, not forgetting behaviour(5) ....Another contender is DOJO(6)Alternatively there's Qooxdoo(7)Personally I think I'd look at prototype, but the sheer volume of data is overwhelming... Good luck
