Over the past year there’s been an explosion in the number of open-source JavaScript frameworks being used to create new Web 2.0 applications - Prototype, Script.aculo.us and Ext JS are to name but a few in the mainstream.
There have also been developments in JavaScript User-Interface libraries with Yahoo’s YUI gaining positive responses from many developers. I would like to highlight another new UI library currently in development - the Prototype UI.
PUI isn’t trying to replicate anything already available - instead, it’s one of many projects making robust Web App components easily accessible to everyone from hardcore developers to those only just dabbling in web design.
The above is a screenshot of their new Carousel component which (similar to SmoothSlider) allows you to include almost any type of content in it. The difference is, you get pop-up support and theme capabilities built in by default ; ) - for more information head on over to http://www.prototype-ui.com/
