Another library worth to look at is
* http://script.aculo.us/

It not only implements AJAX functionality but also provides
many functions to implement a nice user interface (drag'n'drop,
highlighting, etc).

This is an example on how to implement a vertical list that 
is sortable by drag and drop.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
 // <![CDATA[
     Sortable.create("list",
     { tag:'div',
       overlap:'vertical',
       constraint:'vertical',
       handle:'handle',
       onUpdate:function(){
        new Ajax.Updater('status', '/admin/admin_portfolio_ajax.php', {
          parameters: Sortable.serialize('list')+'&action=order',
          asynchronous: true
        })
       }
     });
 // ]]>
</script>

Scriptaculous is very well documented and easy to use.
