DHTML API

Fun to see Raymond Irving implied into DynAPI it were my first DHTML API interest with so great people in there. Unahappily, most of them gone and maintain the library has already been a problem. There is ThyAPI now based on DynAPI http://sourceforge.net/projects/thyapi/ but i prefer things like OpenRico and Dojo.

What’s currently in use for Modx ? Rico or another library ?

The current development work has been based on updates to Raymond’s DynAPI. We’re investigating others now including Scriptaculous, SAJAX, Mockit, Dojo and OpenRico. Internal proof of concept stuff is being implmented in Scriptaculous right now.

Scriptaculous and OpenRico are currently under study in Prado to mention it again
