Is there a cross-browser JavaScript framework that supports old browsers like IE 5?

I’m looking for my application (it’s a sort of CRM) to include a web-based GUI that supports old browsers like IE 5.

Is there any good client-side cross-browser framework that supports old browsers? I don’t need something fancy with effects and animations.

Thanks.

  • For your specific needs check out David Mark's "My Library". It doesn't have the popularity of jQuery or Extjs but for absolute cross-platform portability, nothing beats it. It was developed from best practices gathered from comp.lang.javascript.

    He claims:

    ...after spending a week testing, I am pleased to announce that Cinsoft supports My Library in the following browsers:

    All of them.

    But seriously, we've tested successfully in:-

    • IE 5-8
    • FF 1-3.5
    • Safari 2-4
    • Opera 5-10
    • Netscape 3-9
