It certainly is not! I've read quite enough code reviews on comp.lang.javascript and done quite enough analysis on my own. The jQuery repo on Github gets some feedback too, but Github allows repo owners to censor comments and you can expect the jQuery team will do just that. >From its inception, jQuery used XPath and user-agent based browser sniffing, using things like "mozilla" to test if the browser was Gecko and "msie" to determine if it was IE. I suggest reading those, as well as its author's only posts on comp.lang.javascript (uncensored usenet newsgroup) which show a shocking lack of understanding of very basic concepts as well as a very arrogant attitude towards criticism. He has since "banned" c.l.js. Those comments as well as several reviews of the jQuery library are linked from my site. http://dhtmlkitchen.com/?category=/JavaScript/&date=2010/09/09/&entry=JavaScript-Query-Engines Please also see the page on catb.org and the wikipedia entry: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/email-style.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style Garrett -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
