Hmmm... I seemed to have editorialized my response more than I realized. :)

I just meant to clarify EXT's "free" is not like jQuery's free
(for-all-uses)... but "free" as in $250+ for commercial/non-LGPL use.
http://extjs.com/ext-store/commercial

...trying to avoid someone reading "free" and not checking the fine print
before it's too late. In the scheme of things, I suppose it's a good price
considering the time I'd spend writing my own code to achieve the same
effects.

Brian.

P.S. Is this where someone from the jQuery Development Team steps in and
politely encourages/reminds us to donate to jQuery? http://jquery.com/ :)
