    [greg-dev] Ajax libraries

    Sameer, thanks for digging these up.
    
    These have all nice demos (especially Rico) but what they lack, IMHO,
    is the tight PHP integration that SAJAX has: with SAJAX you can invoke
    a remote PHP function in three lines of Javascript code, plus it's
    quite lightweight.
    
    On the other hand Rico's rounded corners are sexy, as are the
    animation effects: I was fancying to use something like that on the
    doubleclick-to-read or collapse events.
    
    Ah! the dilemma! :)
