I'm a Joomla! developer too and my products (Clexus Gallery and PM) were based on Proto & Scr. I was struggling with them much and the template codes were too crowded with JS codes, so nobody could easily change them and also people were tired of waiting many seconds for the page to load (not all the people have cable). After a long research I decided on JQuery and now we are moving all our house codes to JQ. It is Tidy, quick and has a powerful code structure. This move has shrinked our code size to 30% of the previous ones and also not to mention that it is quite easily extendable. Soeren probably didn't look into JQ deeply. I would recommend him to use JQuery too.

I'm not sure how to even respond to that. He obviously didn't even take a cursory look at jQuery (the jQuery DOM-centric approach is decidedly different, and probably more powerful than Prototype's monolithic approach). And as Sam said, jQuery need not break Prototype (I, in fact, use Prototype and jQuery together on a major commercial Rails project I'm working on at the moment). -- Yehuda On 11/24/06, Sam Collett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 24/11/06, Erin Doak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm relatively new to jQuery but am excited about using it.
