Hey Rey,
Someone posted an alternate comparison in the comments that did feature jQuery: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UP3/Javascript+Toolkit+Comparison However, they gave it one star for "widgets"! Huh? What? Did this person not even take a brief glance at the Plugins page? And developer community got a measly 2 stars. They obviously don't know about this list, and didn't bother to look. Perhaps the forthcoming (?) forums will help exposure. At least the Nabble interface gets some jquery-ish keywords out there... ________ SEAN O Rey Bango-2 wrote: > > Guys, some of you may know of my efforts to get jQuery more exposure. > Part of that is pro-actively approaching Ajax notables in the ColdFusion > community in an effort to get them to give some face time to jQuery. > Well I'm happy to announce that it looks like I've converted one of the > notables in the ColdFusion community; Joe Danziger.
