I have a self created CMS that uses PHP/MySQL and I want to update it to use AJAX/Javascript to improve the user interaction.
I'm looking for features such as:
User managed Dynamic Lists with the ability to add/delete items
Drag-n-drop items to sort them.
Instant feedback/popup help as fields are being edited
Is intuitive to use for someone still learning javascriptI am overwhelmed by the numerous options available and would like some advice on which frameworks to consider.
Franky I can't tell if libraries like jQuery, Mootools, Dojo, YUI are competing or complementary products.
If I use one of these do they include a framework for ajax also or is an additional library needed?
What about IDE's such as Flex, Eclipse and Echo2/3 - do these have their own libraries built in?
I know it's a lot to ask but I'd rather spend the time upfront before I naively choose something that I won't be able to use very long.
Thanks
