Javascript UI Toolkit

Question

I am looking for a lightweight UI toolkit written in Javascript (something like Swing), but I would prefer not to use ExtJS, because I'm afraid it will slow down a lot. Are there small user interface tools that mainly focus on layouts?

The problems that I am facing, in particular, work with layouts. Many toolboxes have different layout styles (floating, grids, divided panels), and this is quite difficult with CSS (especially the height is increased by 100%). It should also be used as a basis for other developers to easily create layouts and just apply custom CSS (for themes).

Answer 1

Try UKI Simple UI Kit

Edited: if we are only talking about layout, have you considered using only CSS frames (e.g. Blueprint)?

This is a great tool for creating CSS http://compass-style.org .

You can watch one of the following

• YUI (components)
• Sproutcore (full structure)
• Cappuccino (full structure written in Objective-j interpreted for JS)
• Google webtoolkit (written in java, compiled in JS)

Answer 4

jQuery gzips decrypts its version up to 24k, and is as reliable as you need 24k for this. You can also link your pages to it through Google hosting.
