Again, if you have any specific code that you can post, maybe someone
could help you refactor it.

Thanks.  I ready an article somewhere and it mentioned not combining
"old" coding forms with new in reference to jQuery.  It didn't make
much sense to me and this confirms it.  I'll continue to code with
functions and such and just supplement with jQuery where beneficial.

Thanks

jQuery isn't a separate language with its own rules. It's still JavaScript
code, just like any other JavaScript code. Functions, variables, reusable
code, those are all good practice, and none of it changes because you're
using jQuery.

Could you give a specific example of some jQuery code that doesn't look
good, and then we can talk about how to clean it up?

Sorry...this question is a little ambiguous to me.  Can you be more
specific or give an example/use case?  I think you will have to "hard
code every event", because otherwise there's no logic dictating what
happens when, say, you click something.  As for defining actual
functions and reusable code...either use the regular code you have
there, wrap up your code in a regular JavaScript "class", or make a
jQuery plugin that's specific for your site.
