eh, decent, but not the top 10 of all time. Especially considering it doesn't include any form/work flow abstraction or anything dealing with the nuances of ajax... I mean I use validation functions more than any of these functions many of which are much more complex.
"These scripts also lack any sort of compatibility for older browsers. They all rely on the getElementByID syntax, which is not supported by older browsers."Rubbish. Every browser since Netscape 4 and IE 4 supports getElementById. If you want to write scripts in those browsers you'll find very little else works either. There's no reason at all to avoid relying on getElementById (unless your users really do live in the stone age).
Great list for a newbie, like me. Thank you.How you use some of the functions, well most of the functions, is not clear to me. If you wrapped that list into a tutorial, you would have created something truly amazingly useful.Regardless - thank you for the post.

Not included: MM_preloadImagesI think that's used quite a bit more. It *does* return a lot of Google results. :)(Yes, I'm kidding.)

umm... Those are methods - or are Javascript and Java two different things?
