jQuery makes Javascript fun
…or at least it claims to, and after reading up on it on the jQuery website, I’m thinking they might be on to something.
I’ve pretty much spent the whole day today at work staring at Javascript code, reading about different Javascript libraries, and trying to see if there’s anything out there that will make my life easier. It doesn’t help when the documentation for these libraries is so minimal. Prototype doesn’t have any documentation on their official site that I can see! I had to use Google to find other site’s tutorials and reference information.
At any rate, the jQuery syntax and functions seem very nice and succinct and easy. I haven’t actually tried to use it yet, but I’m looking forward to it tomorrow.
Also found a tab implementation that should prove very useful for what I’m working on right now (with a little modification to match my somewhat different HTML - I need a few more elements to hang my fancy backgrounds on).
