Hi guys,
I do most of my code in PHP, and when required I will use javascript (although I generally tweak already made code rather than making my own), but I am by no means an expert. I have been trying to find out how to make page content moveable and after exploring the web for a while I have come across several suggestions to use some jQuery functions.
This is purely for looks and is not required, but my questions are:
What are any disadvantages using jQuery over straight javascript? I gather the function library is required and will take more time to download per page? Is it much of a difference?
Do you recommend I learn and use it rather than writing (or finding) javascript functions from scratch?
Thanks for your time.
