I love jQuery. It's the best one. The selectors supports XPATH (not only CSS), and they are easy to extends.
You can create your own events like Mochikit. And the MVC Plugin support event hierarchy for do complex forms easily (it's inspired in XForms and you load it only if you need). Have a lot of plugins, and it's very easy create a new one. A more complex frameworks like Ext (based on YUI) or Dojo have a more coherent set of widgets, but it have a coherents sets of widgets too (http://ui.jquery.com/). A silly example of plugin creation: --- start jquery plugin ---- (function($){ //Hack to e compatible with Prototype $.fn.AutoChange = function(options){ var options = $.extend({ delay: 750 //default option }, options); return this.each(function(){ //permit chaining jQuery elements var $elem = $(this); //Create a jQuery element for each DOM element var timeout; $elem.keydown( function(event){ clearTimeout(timeout); //cancel change event when a key is pressed timeout = setTimeout(onChange, options.delay); }).keypress(function(){}).blur(function(){clearTimeout(timeout);onChange();}); function onChange(){ $elem.trigger("change"); } }); } })(jQuery); --- end jquery plugin ---- ---- start code in a page ----- $(document).ready(function(){ $("[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]").AutoChange({delay:500}).change(function(){ //Validate the item of the register form when the user change a text or stay 500 milis without type anything .... //Your validation code }); }); ---- end code in a page ----- Take a look to a one line of the code: * $("[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]") selects all inputs of type text of the register form. The code is more concise than words. It's an example, usualy its simply ;-) * .AutoChange({delay:500}) and initialize the AutoChange plugin in these inputs whith the delay property set to 500 (defaults 750). * .change(function(){...}); and bind an inline generated function to the onChange event of these inputs (that is triggered by a default or custom event). It is not dificult, only a bit strange the firsts times. Excuse my poor english.
