| The AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF) provides an extensible | |
| framework and exemplary tools for building IDEs for the many | |
| different AJAX runtime offerings (Dojo, Zimbra, Rico, etc) | |
| in the market. Tools built upon these frameworks will | |
| initially include: | |
| <ul> | |
| <li> | |
| enhanced JavaScript editing features such as | |
| edit-time syntax checking; | |
| </li> | |
| <li>an embedded Mozilla web browser;</li> | |
| <li>an embedded DOM browser; and</li> | |
| <li>an embedded JavaScript debugger.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| An additional and unique aspect of the framework is the | |
| Personality Builder function, which assists in the | |
| construction of arbitrary AJAX runtime frameworks, thus | |
| allowing those runtimes to be used with ATF tools. | |
