I am trying deliberately to stay "abstract" in order not to appear to be giving advices to the team how to do their job. I think they are qualified enough.
I would rather stay in the realm of "why". Ie "why" something would be a "good thing" for jQuery. And this idea of not having one jQuery file where everything is mixed- in for all browsers, I think might be a good thing indeed, for jQuery. @Andrea : Sizzle is the good candidate. (its makeArray() mehod, for example, is particularly good example) -- DBJ On Aug 24, 5:04 pm, Andrea Giammarchi <andrea.giammar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Have you seen sizzle?
