I agree. JavaScript is a pretty crucial step before really tapping into AJAX, particularly if you want to execute scripts you retrieve via AJAX. I'm not sure if any script packages have that. Also, I find it useful to work from scratch, particularly for client-side stuff like CSS and JavaScript, so your users load the page faster.

I can't tell, are you being sarcastic? You realize AJAX is just a fancy name for using JavaScript to load content dynamically?
