WJBRYANT JavaScript Library

This is an experimental JavaScript library that I wrote mainly as a learning exercise. It contains cross-browser compatible methods for common tasks such as color and position animation, Ajax, adding and removing event handlers and editing cookies. See the documentation for a breakdown of all the available methods as well as examples. It is currently used on the contact page of my website.

The most recent version is 1.1 - released 2/8/12.
