AJAX and popup windows

On May 2nd, 2006 eric says:

AJAX and popup windows aren't really related. AJAX uses JavaScript, as do DHTML popup windows, but they're different. I saw that some of those links had remoting stuff built-in which was cool but some of them had removed it.

If you want to see a few awesome libraries of JavaScript functions, check out:

Prototype
http://prototype.conio.net/

Scriptaculous
http://script.aculo.us/

Rico
http://openrico.org/

They enable JavaScript to do awesome things with just a few lines of code.
