* Ddraig - a JavaScript API library
* ---------------------------------
*
* Ddraig is a cross-browser JavaScript API library with the intention of
* providing common functions to perform the same tasks in different web
* browsers--thereby removing (to an extent) the problems of inconsistent
* standards support in different browsers.
