It was this thread: http://www.nabble.com/Change-href-of-external-links-tf2718387.html#a7627703 "You start with 10 lines of jQuery that would have been 20 lines of tedious DOM Javascript. By the time you are done it's down to two or three lines and it couldn't get any shorter unless it read your mind." The brevity of jQuery is definitely an important point. I wouldn't emphasize $() anything because so many frameworks use it nowadays. The method chaining is the difference that makes jQuery so powerful. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
