jQuery is DOM-only, and Prototype is general Javascript with classes etc. If you program in Javascript (versus just setting colors positions css etc.), then Prototype is much better choice. For DOM-oriented tasks, both are good.
For me as a programmer, Prototype is better, since I can express my intentions more clearly with Object-Oriented approach. For a non-programmer and/or beginner (e.g. web designer) jQuery is easier to use and learn because it is simpler (procedural) and limited to DOM-oriented tasks. izidor On 2.5.2011, at 9:04, kstubs wrote: > Well, great feedback so far. > As stated, I'm a fan of Proto, and will stay committed.
