I think once you chose a library, it is normal to try to avoid namespace conflicts as it is normal to extend an extendable library as jQuery is. I agree that everybody would like to have its own requirement in the library itself and few people check already present plug-ins but your post as is sounds like people should not extend jQuery for their own purpose ... let's swith to Prototype and its obtrusive native object manipulation?
Btw, I already wroe 3 lines as plugin for this requirement, if any, but if people are lazy about 3 lines, good luck with requests like this one :D Regards On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 5:39 PM, Daniel Friesen <nadir.seen.f...@gmail.com>wrote: > > Personally I think functionality should be put where it belongs, people > should stop trying to shove functionality into jQuery turning it into a > bloated framework. > jQuery is great for node selection, jQuery is great for dom > manipulation, jQuery is great for various forms of AJAX, jQuery is great > for animation... > jQuery isn't a library trying to add partial ES5 support to legacy > browsers, a library providing a stdlib of array and string manipulation > methods, a browser side module loading system, etc... > Functionality like that should be done in separate JS frameworks built > for those purposes.
