GvaScript (pronounce "gee-vascript") is a javascript framework born in Geneva, Switzerland (GVA is the IATA code for Geneva Cointrin International Airport). It is built on top of the prototype object-oriented javascript framework (http://prototype.conio.net).
It contains four core components :
Alien::GvaScript::ProtoExtensions : some extensions to the prototype javascript framework (mainly walking the DOM searching for collections of classnames).
Alien::GvaScript::Event : registering and firing application-specific events (in addition to the standard W3C event model)
Alien::GvaScript::KeyMap : managing maps of handlers for key events (similar in spirit to Emacs keymaps)
Alien::GvaScript::Repeat : managing repeated sections
and four widgets:
Alien::GvaScript::ChoiceList : dropdown list of choices with navigation
Alien::GvaScript::AutoCompleter : autocompletion on form input fields
Alien::GvaScript::TreeNavigator : navigation in a tree structure, opening and closing nodes
Alien::GvaScript::Form : various extensions to HTML forms (working with data trees and repeated sections, automatic focus, etc.)
TARGETED PLATFORMS

Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and higher
