I've been using Prototype for the past few weeks. It seemed like the most light-weight JS framework for Ajax. The other frameworks I was considering were:

Xajax - http://xajax.sourceforge.net/
Sajax - http://www.modernmethod.com/sajax/
AjaxAC - http://ajax.zervaas.com.au/
JPSpan - http://jpspan.sourceforge.net/
RSLite - http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/rslite/
Lace - http://socket7.net/lace/

Prototype is used in Ruby on Rails and is the framework powering the Ajax in Basecamp. At the moment, there aren't any manuals or docs but there's a user community. Just try googling for it. It's made up of only 1 24KB js file.

You might as well check out script.aculo.us - it's a JS effects library (drag and drop, etc) that ties in with Prototype. http://script.aculo.us/
