Hi Bart, Hi Paul. Just to add another opinion :-)
Weeks ago I started an ArcGIS Server web mapping application and also was needing some JavaScript to layout my map page. I downloaded dojo but found it much more that I wanted. I was looking for something simplier. Then, I downloaded Fusion and in a few minutes exploring fusion sample interface, I put my layout working with map area, a toolbar with buttons and also Jx.dialogs ( for Legend controler, Scalebar and ref Map ). JX is very simple to work with. Congratulations again for DM folks.
