The Spry framework for Ajax is a JavaScript library for web designers that provides functionality that allows designers to build pages that provide a richer experience for their users. It is designed to bring Ajax to the web design community who can benefit from Ajax, but are not well served by other frameworks. An updated version is now available for download from Adobe Labs.

Prerelease 1.4 includes several enhancements and fixes--see the change log for more information. A new Form Validation sample application also exhibits some of the added functionality.
