Solution

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

Problem

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.
