This used to be a very heated topic, but it seems like jQuery has won out all of the libraries out there. I am personally a jQuery user, but used to use MooTools a lot. I feel like jQuery is great for beginners and is advanced enough for complex stuff but it's almost like a whole new language as it disguises the Javascript behind it. Other frameworks on the other hand such as MooTools and YUI rely on building upon Javascript to fix for the common problems.

So what framework you think is best, or should it depend on the type of project? Also is it a good idea to rely on this semi "third party" service for a big part of your website, or start from scatch to use your own? I'd like to know what your opinions are on this.

(By the way, why do the forums lowercase the "script" in Javascript?)

Hey I still think MooTools is a great framework, especially if you already know Javascript. jQuery is just more popular and makes it easier to manipulate the DOM.

Yeah, and you actually googled Cowtools and said "There is no such thing as CowTools" in all your seriousness haha! That made me chuckle...

During the time you said that, you actually preferred MooTools over jQuery and I was trying to convince you that jQuery was better.
This was one of the few times I went on the IRC, so yeah. :whistle:

I obviously knew there was no such thing as cowtools...

I'm not saying jQuery is better, it's different and arguably a lot easier to learn.

Honestly, I'm sorry but I can't stand when people say "the IRC." It kills me. And so does this: Posted Image


And jQuery is great. To prove my point head on over to the jQuery website and you'll see what I mean.

Out of Most of the JS libraries i've tried out like Prototype , DoJo , YUI ... jQuery is the most simplest , it's simple to learn and easy to use ... has less typing to do and i also prefer the QUnit framework used by jQuery . I also prefer YUI kind of has a better User Interface.

I find YUI having a huge learning curve, maybe it was me being more stupid back then but meh.
