I had a similar problem before... There were "some people" who could not think in anything else other than regular OO and knocked jQuery. Sad story. I believe this model is exactly what makes jQuery strong: it's ability to not be constrained to object trees, but be able to mix as the selectors require. Much like CSS.
Maybe a more technical analysis would help the cause. I don't know much in terms of theory, but mentioning the type of architecture in a more technical page or post might help. Is it mixin? object composition? What's the paradigm behind CSS? Clearly jQuery can be reused, otherwise there wouldn't be plugins for it :P On May 21, 5:35 pm, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bil Corry wrote: > > > Benjamin Sterling wrote on 5/21/2007 12:58 PM: > >> "However, it does not support a reusable programming model like an > >> object > >> oriented approach, so you should not expect thousands of lines of JQuery > >> code to be a good asset to your project" > > >> can anyone clarify.
