Question

javascript and ajax libraries

We are adding ajax and javascript to our website and trying to decide which library to use. I've heard that you should pick one and stick with it. What libraries does everyone like and why? We are fairly new to both javascript and ajax, so the ones that are the easiest to work with would be a high priority.

first choice - jquery
second choice - also jquery!

you won't go wrong... just pick a project, demo, plugin or example and
go for it.
the community is huge and growing, and there are several good books if
you are so inclined ( I like 'jQuery in Action' )

+1000 for jQuery.
there are also several very good books on it.
it is VERY easy and powerful, but you still need to know js, especially
if you will be modifying available plug-ins to suite your particular needs.

jquery :) It abstracts javascript out in a way that is easy for my mind to understand, plus has a lot of great plugins to perform a great number of tasks. Also, the documentation is good, _and_ there is a great community that has grown around it.
