Three things: (1) the "require" statement for including neighbouring Javascript files, facilitating the organization of a Javascript project into one-class-per-file (2) the Widget superclass, for modularizing GUI elements into reusable panels/widgets (widget = html + javascript) (3) the dojo.io.connect() function that lets me hook into any function call -- before it, after it, around it. That said, it's probably overkill for more traditional websites. So I think I'll probably go Prototype for traditional sites, Dojo for richer, more javascript-heavy sites. Hi Ben - I loved Prototype, but am currently working with Dojo and would miss a lot of things from it (for largish Javascript projects). Three things:

That said, it’s probably overkill for more traditional websites. So I think I’ll probably go Prototype for traditional sites, Dojo for richer, more javascript-heavy sites.
