   Great post Luke!

   I also posted a short one on my blog a few days ago about looping through a table:

   Thanks Jack and Monie. I’m glad it was helpful and look forward to seeing what you do with jQuery.

   Nice post. I too have been leary about JS frameworks because I figure I can do it myself, but you make same valid points. Maybe I should set my pride aside and look into a framework.

   Wow… jQuery is awesome.

   Thanks for writing this post Luke as I was reluctant to fully see the power of this amazing and lightweight package.

   I have been implementing all week since we spoke last and am finding it a real treat to finally see my application going AJAX.

   There are some teething issues though, I’ve yet to fully get AJAX form submitting happening. But as far as getting dynamic content up in a fancy manner with jQuery is a breeze.

   Thanks Scott. You wouldn’t believe how hard it was for me to put the keyboard aside and let jQuery do some typing for me. It is a battle that I’m glad my ego lost though, it lets me concentrate on what I love — innovating interfaces.

   @Bobby

   Glad you’ve joined my on the jQuery bandwagon — the jquery.form.js plugin is an absolute godsend… I don’t think I’ll ever have to write another HttpRequest object again.

   Just like to add I think its a shame the jquery site seems to run terribly slow for me. As though its hosted on somebodies private modem. I don’t know.

   If you’re like me and having constant issues accessing their regular site http://docs.jquery.com/ load your browser to http://visualjquery.com/ which is an alternative to the documentation.

   I find it bizarre, that for such an awesome framework that is used so much that it appears to be quite limited in its documentation and that its own site doesn’t have the feeling of being streamlined. Some of these really popular plugins have 0-5 ratings so it seems like its not a hub of activity when it is. Anyways. It rocks.

   In case you haven’t checked out the jQuery site in a while (which I doubt!), they’ve had a face lift, and seem to be quicker to access. I guess if it’s slow, that’s really probably just a testament to the fact they must have a heavy traffic load thanks to all of us!!

   Also, you might want to check out http://ui.jquery.com/ if you haven’t already, to see some of the fancier demos of what you can do with javascript, and simply with jQuery

   (I’m a convert!)

Do you have something to say?
