# Keep It Simple JS Library #

A Minimal, Modular Javascript library for Modern browsers.

Aims to be fast, small, and easily split into individual modules. 

You can create your own library by adding and removing modules from the 
src directory, and running the "combine.php" script. This will output a 
"kis-custom.js" file. (Be careful, as the script will overwrite any "kis-custom.js"
file that already exists).

Browser support: IE8+, Latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera

## Basic Use: ##

* Function:	`$_(selector).module.function(params);`

		}):
				  
* ext: For extending the library, adds this.el to the object or function supplied
