really curious to hear what browser compatibilty issues you are referring to with regards to javascript and/or jquery.
I write js and jquery a lot. The server is exclusively to get/save/update data. webpage handles all html layout interactions etc with js, jquery. Even back in the day when I wrote webforms I used jquery a lot. Intelisense these days is really great. I honestly find it hard to even think of producing websites without client side scripting. The maintenance issues of doing everything serverside must be a nightmare. Case in point: producing a modal dialog effect - trivial with jquery ui , seems like a nightmare with the all server side approach On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 9:12 AM, Greg Keogh <[email protected]> wrote: > >Are you writing the javascript directly or using jquery?**** > > ** ** > > Sorry for the late reply, yes I occasionally code JavaScript by hand when > I need it.
