Yeah, Scriptaculous is the way to go for AJAX applications, however
this requires that you are using the new canvas framework for
rendering. Shore components are useful if you want to use a ready-made
design and some more sophisticated standard components.

Mewa or Magritte might be interesting for you too, if you plan to do a
lot with forms and dialogs. Both frameworks help to build and validate
forms automatically. Since Magritte is described with its own
meta-framework, it is even possible to let the users customize and
build their own forms from the web.

Cheers,
Lukas
