I’ve created a basic first draft for a javascript selection library. The library allows the user to select many elements on a web page with a simple mouse drag.

I call this version 0.1 as it has only been tested in Firefox and has some minor issues that need some cleaning up, but I figured I might as well make it public so people can take a look, try it, give feedback, or send patches.

You can grab the files and see a demo of it here

The library requires prototype and builder… both of which come with Rails.

Patches and feedback are welcome.
