Speaking as somebody who had not even considered using javascript, because of a complete and utter lack of knowledge of its inner workings, the major reasons for selecting jquery as a tool of choice were
1. it is readily understandable (once you have taken the time to read the documentation and understood what is possible via the selectors available)....unlike the other frameworks, which went straight over my head 2. the way that you write your functions/routines , is a very simple transformation of your thoughts into quasi english/jquery language 3. the community here is not only very active, but also very helpful........ 4. the amount of plug ins (all useful) that have been posted and subsequently been improved upon, by other members of the list is totally and utterly impressive......... 5...................suppose I had better let others give their thoughts on why jquery is simply the best Giuliano On 12/06/07, Robert O'Rourke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I much prefer the syntax and the community around jquery. I never got any helpful responses from anyone on the mootools forum when I was using that library. Rob
