I don't know which JS snippet is responsible for it, and since the
quality of the "code" on this site (like on so many other big corporate
sites) is perhaps even worse than jQuery, I won't bother to search for it.
I don't understand why some people feel the need to needlessly bash
jQuery every time it gets mentioned here.
jQuery is a *great* tool to simplify things which would be tedious at
best with pure javascript. It lowers the bar of creating usable
JavaScript-applications and while you seem to think it's a bad thing I
really can't see what's the harm in that. Sure, it may be fun to create
your own functions and librarys, some might say re-inventing the wheel,
but I really can't see that work being productive in a business sense.
And if the code quality behing jQuery isn't that great, which I'm not
saying it isn't, then so what? It doesn't even really matter to me if
and *when* it takes care of the browser differences in a reliable way
and makes JavaScript actually fun.
I really do not care about the arguments I've read in this newsgroup
where some have been scrutinizing jQuerys source code line by line. I'm
sure there are some parts in every JavaScript code, even in your own,
where people could jump in and point out potential problems. Heck,
pointing out other peoples errors isn't that difficult. Nor is it
productive.
Besides jQuery is getting better and faster after each release and if
and when there are bugs they will be fixed - it's that simple.
If you are really unable to see the benefit of using jQuery - well, then
I guess each of us makes decisions based on different merits, but it
still doesn't make jQuery "crap" even if you don't like it.
All of you who don't really know what this is even about - don't just
eat up the beliefs of some of the regulars but check out jQuery to make
up your own mind -
