sylvain,

If you want to, you can integrate with Event Cache by Mark Wubben - it’s not by default, due to file size and the problem going away with updates to IE 6 as well as lower market share for IE 6.

The only thing that seem to lack is a page unload event cache cleaner to avoid memory leaks in Internet Explorer (one of it’s innumerables bugs). Thank you for that librairy.

Grant,

Yep, it’s all about context. Also, I’m convinced that there are a lot more people out there into having JavaScript code which just offers what they actually need.

Jonathan,

Thank you!

Stephen, Georges,

Ha ha!
Well, let’s put it this way: DOMAssistant is a very lightweight JavaScript library, while dLite perhaps is more a set of utility functions rather than a library.

I use dLite when I want to do some raw, hard-core developing, and when I have the room to optimize everything around it. In other projects, I use DOMAssistant, where the context calls for a JavaScript library with a larger feature set.

And I thought DOMAssistant was a lightweight library!!!

dLite looks great. I am a jQuery user and even if I like it a lot, it is obviously overkill to use it in some projects. I will definitely have dLite in mind whenever I don’t find jQuery suitable. Thanks for your commitment!

jQuery and the like are appealing, but possibly overkill for some situations, as has been the case for me recently. To that end, I have written a small library containing much the same functionality you have listed above, and it works well for me - so far.

As the saying does, “there’s a time and place for everything”…
