# Introduction

Thank you for buying Lucid, the visual Javascript editor from The Escapers.
Lucid is a visual editor for assembling Javascript logic and animation and attaching that logic and animation to elements on a HTML or XHTML page. Simply put, Lucid lets you add exciting capabilities to otherwise static web pages.

Lucid allows you to design your Javascript logic and animation using drag and drop. Lucid then creates Javascript code which you can use right away, or customize by hand if you wish. Lucid uses special comments in the Javascript code so that even if you edit the Javascript by hand, you can still load it back into Lucid and continue to work on it.

While The Escapers recommend using Flux to create your HTML, you can use whatever tool you like, Lucid works with standard HTML/XHTML.
