What will you find here? Thousands of lines of cross-browser Javascript, all distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL. I hope you have fun playing with my toys - I certainly had fun making them :-).
Cheers!

21Mar09 - XC is no more! I've split it into two separate projects: XAG and XPP. See X Tools for the details.
Visit the News & Announcements Forum.
X is a collection of loosely-bound, cross-browser, Javascript functions and objects. It is intended to be a resource from which you pick and choose - you do not have to include the entire library in your application. It contains core DOM/Style functions, unobtrusive enhancements, utility functions, objects such as menus and tab panels, and also has some experimental stuff. I've been developing this library since 2001 (I started its predecessor around 1999). Thanks to thousands of people like yourself X has been extensively tested on a wide range of operating systems and browsers. Thanks to your contributions X continues to improve, grow and evolve.
X is distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL - in other words it is free, even for commercial projects. However, there are a few limitations and requirements. Please read more about it.
The many X Demos on this site demonstrate how to use X in a variety of Javascript applications - from simple to complex. You'll find examples of unobtrusive Javascript in menus, event-handling demos, form enhancements, debugging tools, dynamic layouts, and much more.
The X Viewer provides comprehensive documentation for all X functions and objects - source, syntax, arguments, dependencies, links to demos, and more. X does not implement its own object or event models, it uses the browser's native object and event models. See the X documentation.
These tools are still preliminary and are not yet included in the distribution file (21Mar09).
XAG is a library file aggregator. XAG scans your application files and creates a custom X library file which contains only those X variables, functions and objects (X symbols) used in your application.
XPP is a general purpose text preprocessor. It supports conditional output and simple text replacement. These features enable you to perform objectification, obfuscation and conditional compilation.
