This is a great idea... and very useful comparison... it might be interesting to see more tasks that are common in DHTML programming: - how to infuse ajax content into a dom element - how to create a tabbed interface (what files, what markup, what custom code) - how to create a modal popup Some additional information I'd like to see are the number of files and file size of library code required to do each comparison. It may get repetitive with the other libraries that are monolithic in nature, but things certainly change for the plug-in/à la carte libraries.
It took me about 15 minutes to create the challenge and the jQuery version for the Ajax sample. http://js.commadot.com/node/14 Then I spent another 30 minutes trying to do it with plain DOM Scripting. I gave up. Work to do. I can pretty easily make the other two challenges. Tabbed and Modal. The big problem is going to be doing them in the other frameworks. Glen
