My personal goal for jQuery is to have it be smaller in size (compressed) than Prototype (compressed) and MooTools (compressed). These are the current numbers: Prototype: 19239 bytes (1.4.0) 25393 bytes (1.5.0_rc1) MooTools (with Function, Array, String, Element, Fx, Dom, Ajax, Window, Fxpack, Fxutils, and Fxtransitions selected): 19128 bytes (rev 83) jQuery: 19019 bytes (1.0.3) 19098 bytes (SVN) As you can see, jQuery's size is getting really close to Prototype 1.4.0 and Mootools. I could probably do a run through of the code and reduce the size of the download by a couple hundred KB, no problem. Just squeezing beyond that point will require that something be removed. --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
