Before JavaScript Libraries

Before there were JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Prototype, there was just JavaScript. There was no portable library so everything had to be done from scratch or using your own custom library with browser dependent code. When Google released their web browser line completion code, it was cutting edge. They might not have been the first to do it, but it was certainly the most prominent new example of this technology. It was back when Ajax was first becoming popular. This blog post I wrote back in 2005 explained how to modify Google’s JavaScript for your own purposes in order to have line completion working for your own website.
