<3 jQuery

jQuery TabsI’ve always been a fan of MooTools, ever since I needed the Accordion functionality on a site I built back in January of 2008. Since then, I have stubbornly stuck to that choice, using it for all websites that could use some cool Javascript functionality (especially Fx.Slide). While redesigning AlanBeam.net, I decided to give jQuery a try. I mean, if it’s good enough for Google and Mozilla, there’s gotta be something to it, right?

I gotta say, I waited too long to make the change. MooTools is nice, don’t get me wrong, but jQuery makes everything I want to do in Javascript incredibly simple. I love it. With the addition of jQuery Tools, I can add more than just fun effects, but user-friendly navigation, helpful tooltips, simple Ajax form submission, and plenty more, I am sure. I’ve found my new, reliable Javascript framework and I’m not looking back.

Which Javascript framework do you use?

Open BodyI hope you find the information on this blog useful. I get tired of searching for solutions that exist only on a cached page of a defunct forum in the corner of the interweb. I work mostly with XHTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript (mostly MooTools), and MySQL, although I occasionally dab in ColdFusion, MSSQL, Flash, and ActionScript. Feel free to comment or contact me if you find a solution handy, incorrect, or just plain interesting. Thanks!
