I can understand your concern, however it isn't misleading if you understand the technology of gzip and http requests.
If I might be so bold, the actual problem was seeing the word "Gzipped" and not understanding it. Try reading this excellent article on the subject: http://www.julienlecomte.net/blog/2007/08/13/ JK -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Weber Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 7:31 AM To: jQuery Development Subject: [jquery-dev] Re: minified + gzipped = 15kb ??? front page must have a typo... Fair enough, its still misleading though! I know i'm being pedantic but even so, it says 15K somewhere and when you click download its 54K I don't really care! lol 50K is great for me, I just think for the average person this kind of advertising/specing is confusing! :) Quoted from jQuery Home: === Grab the latest version! Choose your compression level: - jquery-1.2.6.min.js Production (15kb, Minified and Gzipped) - jquery-1.2.6.js Development (94kb, Uncompressed Code) === Quoted from Download Home (Google Code): === - jquery-1.2.6.min.js jQuery 1.2.6 (Minified) 54.5 KB - jquery-1.2.6.js jQuery 1.2.6 97.8 KB === On Oct 15, 10:52 am, "Richard D.
