If you haven’t tried any of JavaScript libraries yet, it may now be a good moment to do so. Valerio Proietti has recently released MooTools version 1.1 with many new features, enhancements, optimizations as well as few bug fixes. This version makes use of XPath in all supporting browsers, making them more responsive when using CSS selectors. You can read the summary of updates here. Be sure to check newly added and constantly growing demos section. There you will find many useful examples you can learn a lot from by studying the code.
If you’re willing to learn more and don’t know where to begin, read the excellent Mootorial, a complete MooTools walkthrough written by Aaron Newton. If you plan to seriously get into MooTools you will most definitely need Joe Hewitt’s Firebug, a Firefox extension without which you might easily loose your hair while trying to debug your code. I should mention that it’s very useful for monitoring and debugging CSS and HTML also. Once you get used to it, you’ll probably wonder how you managed without it.
Happy scripting!
