It is. However, the integration points we've identified so far are already pretty transferrable to other libraries -- a view helper for setting up the script and/or stylesheet depenendcies, data structures, RPC support, and targetted form elements. The view helper, targetted form elements, and data structures are specific to the library, while the RPC layer is JS-library agnostic. I _will_ be looking at other JS libraries (and, indeed, already have) as we continue with the Dojo integration to ensure we remain as JS agnostic as possible, but I think we've done most of that legwork already. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Software Architect | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
