Itsy-bitsey, teenie tiny, javascript library

Another javascript library? Really? C'mon! We already have the fantastic jQuery, Prototype, exJs, YUI and mooTools libraries. They're great! They do EVERYTHING and are battle tried and tested. Do we really need another one?

Course not, but I wrote one anyway!

All the above libraries are great - but they're on the chunky side size wise (and bootstrapping seems a HTTP request too far). Sure CDN distribution will render this crib a moot issue in time, but right now I need something small and quick over the wire. Inspired by the folks behind Prototype, I got to work.

MkiScript

Depending on your work environment, this is pronounced 'Mark i Script' for those in a corporate environment, or 'MonkeyScript' for the crazy rockstar ninja developers who don't care about 'nuthin!

Either way its task is simple: to provide a quick 'n easy way of grabbing DOM elements and doing simple tasks or simple transitional effects with them. All in a 3k (minified) package!

I'm scribbling an API and documentation and all the examples in the world - to be published in time...
