However, I highly doubt that YUI is more efficient at selector based DOM manipulation as jQuery is. And even more I doubt that the jQuery devs have said this. There was some talk about benchmarking the selector engines of various libraries and maybe Slocum's implementation is a little faster right now. However it doesn't support as many selectors as jQuery does and most importantly doesn't come with the elegant DOM manipulation functionality wrapped around the result set.
For all other folks out there: If you like what YUI does, go ahead and use it, however personally I'd always also include jQuery to do them DOM manipulation as it's just the best tool for the job. -- Felix Geisendörfer aka the_undefined -------------------------- http://www.thinkingphp.org http://www.fg-webdesign.de the_woodsman wrote: > Sorry to politicize/evangelize, but I noticed no-one's mentioning the > Yahoo UI. > > I'm not an expert in al the Javascript libs, so this is all IMHO, but > let me make a few points in favour of YUI: > > * more modular than the alternatives > * very well documented, obviously highly tested > * easier to implement with other javascript components (because of its > modularity and deep namespacing) > * Jack Slocum's extensions are incredible, including most of the > functionality of jQuery, and much more efficient (even the JQuery devs > agree on this). > > Sure, there's no YUI/Cake libs like there are for scriptaculous etc, > but bit by bit I've started to replicate this, and so far it's quite > easy (for example, I've set YUI's ajax calls to be compatible with > Cake's Request helper isAjax() method). > > Give YUI a try, you might like it - and if anyone has experience > contrary to the above, I'd be interested to know where I'm mistaken... > > > On Feb 9, 5:01 pm, "joel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> You know, I really like MooTools, and use it in a handful of >> sites.http://mootools.net >> >> Has anyone use MooTools and jQuery to compare them? >> >> -Joel >> > > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
