Jesus, have you lost your toys from your pram or something? As far I'm aware, I never said JQuery was superior. I am aware of saying it's horses for courses. I'm also aware that my comments were opinion and not fact, based on my experience with Prototype. They apply to me, is that okay? You may also read back and see I'm a back end developer who can't stand the front end. Again, from my experience with Prototype and JQuery (plugins and api) I much prefer JQuery. I'm sorry I have an opinion and it doesn't meet with your exacting standards. That's the only answer you're getting because it's aggressive hoity toity people like you that get my back up. Now, go out and either retrieve your toys or buy some new ones. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
