Javascript Tools provides a common set of methods extending those available in Drupal core (drupal.js) for Javascript and AJAX module development in Drupal.
Note: you should not install this module for Drupal 6 unless it is required by another module.
Note: As of Oct. 20, 2009, the 5.x version is no longer supported.
Prior to Drupal 6, Javascript Tools included an integrated set of Javascript and AJAX modules. For Drupal 6, modules previously part of Javascript Tools now have the following separate projects:
Active menus, http://drupal.org/project/activemenu (requires Javascript Tools 6)
Collapsiblock, http://drupal.org/project/collapsiblock (requires Javascript Tools 6)
Tabs: http://drupal.org/project/tabs
Active edit, http://drupal.org/project/activeedit (prototype only as yet, not usable)
Ajax submit, http://drupal.org/project/ajaxsubmit
Install Javascript Tools 6 only if you use Active menus or Collapsiblock or another module that requires it.
