I have the autocomplete control pretty much finished; it is buried somewhere, but it isn't half bad if I remember correctly (implemented it last summer); it is definitely better than the one Microsoft was pimping for use with their AJAX framework (I am a C#, ASP.NET developer but don't care for their JavaScript stuff). I love writing controls in JavaScript, so maybe I am sick in the head. > I would > imagine one could get a lot farther, a lot faster, by working on some > sort of Mochikit port of or interface with the YUI library, rather > than starting all over from square one. True - which is why I ported ThickBox; that said, porting a bunch of different widget library code, especially if from different sources, would potentially produce quite an ugly and inconsistent code base, which might not be such a good thing. :) Anyway, those are my rambling thoughts/opinions.
