Can we create the controls using Scriptaculous.js and prototype.js or this library is for giving the effects on control.

Question

Hi All...

I am New for the technology. I want to know that "Can we create the controls using scriptaculous.js and prototype.js or this library is for giving the effects,Drag n Drop,Auto Completer?." Because i have seen in dojo.js they have their own controls as we create in dojo.(Button,CheckBox etc...)

I want to know about which is the best library to used for Effects,Animation etc. (scriptaculous.js,prototype.js vs dojo.js vs jQuery vs YUI).

Please comment on it.

Yes, you can create controls using prototype. You'd typically be using Element.insert. You can also use all scriptaculous/prototype functions on the newly created element.

The "which is best" question is answered elsewhere on SO.
