And I still don't get the point of #jquery. Yet, it's used everywhere! !java !javascript
-
You haven't done enough DOM manipulation…
-
I have encountered several situations in which a jquery line solves my problem. I just prefer twenty lines of code I understand.
-
Wouldn't that be easier with php? For what I've seen, jquery is kind of heavy.
-
You posted your initial notice to the Java group; you just might completely misunderstand all the technologies involved and their purpose
-
That's 20 more lines of code that need to be tested & debugged. Developer time is a scarce & valuable asset
-
I posted to java because I wasn't sure javascript existed. I'm no expert, that's precisely why I'm asking and not telling which is better.
-
Yes, but I can learn useful stuff from it :-)
-
@mvdan When you use JS, you are usually using it to do something on the browser side, not the server side. PHP cannot work there.
-
Java and Javascript have NOTHING in common—other than the name. Was some cooperative marketing crap between Netscape & Sun in 1995
-
I know that. Once again, I didn't remember if the javascript group existed.
-
Yes, but jquery is heavy and would not work very nicely on older machines.
-
actually with node.js you can do stuff on the server side iirc, I'm sure @reality would love to enlighten you.
-
@mvdan Or especially not older browsers.
-
@tekk True, node is used for server-side JS. But most JS is on client side.
-
I don't use it myself (plain !JavaScript FTW!), but I guess it can help in dealing with IE6 ?

@mvdan It makes working with the DOM more palatable. It also can help people from making cross browser incompatible scripts.
-
I think you should know JQuery better. Then you'll be able to tell if it's useful or not.
-
That's true.
