Discovering jQuery
To ensure cross-browser compatibility in my web sites, I used to use the library from cross-browser.com.
It has interesting features, like providing a "compiler" that extracts only the functions your page actually uses from the library and builds a customized compressed JavaScript file. The form of this library is rather classical, you have a set of functions that you call when needed, no classes or object oriented programming.
I recently discovered jQuery, a JavaScript framework that is a bit more complicated to use, but that allows you much shorter and often quicker code. I recommend it for larger projects. The philosophy is rather different, and explanations would be too long here.
It also has a standardized way of adding libraries, which resulted in a long list of features developed by the community. One of them is Interface allowing animation, drag&drop and many other things with incredible ease.
As I continue using jQuery will I post remarks and tips here.
