      <description><![CDATA[Dan has an interesting post up on his site asking for peoples&#8217; Javascript essentials. It&#8217;s  funny but those little scripts he lists do cover the majority of the stuff I do&#8230; Still, with jQuery weighing in at 19K, it&#8217;s hard resist using it all the time!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[yep, jquery here too. i&#8217;ve not dug around as much as i maybe could have but i find the community, documentation and ever expanding list of genuinely useful plugins extremely helpful. i&#8217;ve got a mate who has developed his own javascript framework, off the back of some work he did with a very well known british television corporation who isn&#8217;t so enamoured though &#8211; i guess he&#8217;s biased but he knows his onions, heck i&#8217;m just an end user. still, for production quality i find query has never let me down, and like mike s has said, 19k is a show stopper.<br />
<br />
i can&#8217;t remember when jquery it was released (even as beta) but i do remember that the @media 2006 javascript frameworks panel seemed to be all over dojo.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I was a Prototype junkie, but I have since changed my ways, and I couldn&#8217;t be happier.<br />
<br />
Mootools is nice, and Valerio is insanely talented, but the community involvement around jQuery, plus documentation, plus plugins, AND the Selector syntax and power all make me love jQuery.<br />
<br />
I am an OO JS guy and I can still do OO with jQuery.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I highly recommend making the move :)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I guess jQuery&#8217;s plugins are one big plus; it&#8217;s the community built in from the start.<br />
Is there any of that back-button funk already built in? And, as Dojo was mentioned, when you look at it in the way of tiny-toolkit (a la jQuery, mootools) against huge toolbox (Dojo, DWR), what&#8217;s the real need for the heavyweights?<br />
<br />
Integration with the server-side and Push technologies seem to be part of the answer, but is that all? I mean, surely someone could use Dan&#8217;s Ruby integration and do some sort of port to Java? And is there anything push-related available in jQuery?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a back button plugin for jQuery. I&#8217;ve not had a proper play but it looks like a nice simple implementation&#8230;<br />
<br />
And there&#8217;s a jQuery book in the works!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s all about prototype.js.  I know for a fact that it is faster then jQuery, and Yahoo&#8217;s libs]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[so, where&#8217;s  that fact? are you talking about this <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/benchmark-prototype-and-jquery">benchmark using a small dom between prototype and jQuery1.0</a> .<br />
Of course, this is very well possible, but it still has to outweigh coding convenience and size. Since I&#8217;ve written this post, I&#8217;ve completely abandoned moo, by the way, the fact that they changed syntax for the 0.93 of mootools and then again for the first release was too annoying. Too many code examples were based on something old. If I can I&#8217;m using jQuery now, otherwise it&#8217;s mostly prototype. And that&#8217;s purely based on coding convenience, not size or speed.]]></description>
