You need to find one that meets your needs. Does it have the features you want, do you need components or do you want to code your own. Etc.

Please read this with regards to choosing better subject lines than "some advice please".

Personally, I'm not big on big frameworks. I like Prototype (more of a library than a framework) because it helps me get my job done without getting in the way.

One of the architects I work with claims to hate Ajax. I asked her why and she said she had worked on a project and they used JSON (which is and isn't an Ajax framework) and said she thought the javascript was a nightmare.

I showed her how I used prototype and well written (the key) javascript and she agreed that they might have gone overboard on the other project.
