Actually Sizzle *is* the default jQuery CSS selector engine. From the jQuery source: * Sizzle CSS Selector Engine - v0.9.3 * Copyright 2009, The Dojo Foundation * Released under the MIT, BSD, and GPL Licenses. * More information: http://sizzlejs.com/ Notice the Dojo copyright attribution! It's hard to keep these frameworks apart these days. I've also seen YUI attributing Resig amongst others in some ajax code, Resig reacting on a Mootools mailing-list post. Aren't they supposed to compete with each-other? Damn hippies. /Ties > On Sun, 2009-04-26 at 12:41 +0100, Lucian Branescu wrote: >> Processing.js is a port of Processing (JVM) and it doesn't really have >> anything to do with jQuery.
