javascript library with easy and comprehensive ajax widget set - ajax

I am looking for a javascript library that provides a comprehensive set of widgets that covers most HTML elements and also has a good grid table. The out of the box look and feel must be good. Ajax will be nice as well or else must have ability to attach event handlers.
Any ideas?
PS:
Dont say jQuery please.

Anyway jquery is suited for normal needs , i won't personally recommend you any other thing but for the question part you can either go for Mootools OR YUI
EDIT
Go for a look over here
http://javascriptlibraries.com/

Is there a reason why not jQuery? It's arguably the best one out there...but anyways, some alternatives are Prototype, MooTools and Dojo...but if you're shying away from jQuery because it's "hard" or some other similar reason, you're not going to have much more luck with any other library out there...all pretty much the same thing...

What language is used to create website animations?

Many websites have loading animations, slide in text and more. What language is used to trigger the animations?
A lot of various technologies can be used, but among the most widespread, there are JavaScript (and many many libraries / technologies built upon it, like jQuery, NodeJS, AngularJS, VueJS, etc.) and HTML5, which includes sets of "native" HTML tags enabling animations (and a lot more than that). Among others, one could also mention Django, which is built in Python.
I hope this helps ; please refer to these technologies' documentations for actual details.
You can, and we used to, animate stuff directly with javascript. This has largely been replaced with css transitions, which are much cleaner. So you define your animation in css with the transition rule, and you trigger it with built-in selectors :hover :active :focus etc., or by adding a class to the class list. If you use a js mvvm framework like angular or vue, you can bind your class list to your model. As such, everything is declarative, nothing is procedural. My goodness we've gotten clever :-)

jQuery BBQ, Address or any other hashchange plugin - Recommendation

I am looking for a plugin or function that gives you SEO friendly way of dynamically loading pages, bookmarking via Ajax. I know this has been asked a lot.
The things that irriate me: I used to go with jquery.address plugin for it, but to be honest this plugin always seems quite complex to handle. I also looked at other plugins, e.g. jQuery BBQ. I know it's recommended quite a lot. But: the plugin hasn't been updated for 2 years now (link). Now I am wondering if there is anything that I am missing or even if it's included in jQuery 1.9. Nevertheless I checked jQuery documentation and I couldn't seem to find anything.
Since I am using ajax quite a lot lately and I would love to know what other people use and I am glad for any recommendations.
Many thanks and best,
Mike

Web UI Element Libraries?

I am looking for a collection of nice, modern and clean web UI element package. I have so PSD's, but the process to convert is too much. Are there any ready made JS/CSS UI element libraries, such as jQuery-UI (I don't like jQuery UI's themes, I don't think their elements are good looking enough). Any other jQuery-UI-like web UI element library?
Thanks!
Try enter link description here. It has many libraries listed and categorized in neat place. Maybe you get some libraries that could help you there..

Ajax centric Open source

Do we have some thing like an wrapper for ajax. If so can some name the best one.
Your question doesn't really make sense, but I think what you're looking for is a javascript framework. Popular choices are jquery or sencha

Captcha replacement

I stumbled upon http://www.kettletime.com.au/chance where the user needs to drag and drop a box with a number into another box to prove that he is human.
How do you implement this? Any free library to do this?
Thanks
It appears to be this one: http://www.webdesignbeach.com/beachbar/ajax-fancy-captcha-jquery-plugin.
How do you implement this?
Of course, you can implement the functionality on your own (see other answers), but this plug-in seems to be highly configurable :)
Any free library to do this?
Yup, see link above.
I suggest using jQuery library with jquery UI official plug-in.
Here is a demo and code:

You should take a look at JqueryUI. The have a direct drag and drop implementation.
