Re: [jQuery] So I guess Ajax is the end of the web
The beauty of jQuery is that all the nasty, cross-browser incompatibility stuff is kept under the hood. Even if the next ECMA standard horribly breaks existing Javascript implementations - which surely it won't, any more than Adobe would release a backwards-incompatible version of Flash - the jQ library could be rewritten to accommodate it so that all our $(...) statements work as before. -- Chris Ovenden http://thepeer.blogspot.com "Imagine all the people / Sharing all the world" ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

This was my main point in my original blog posting and what lead to my subsequent debate with Ryan on his blog. Flex 2 is not the "end all, be all" of RIA development and while Flex 2 does provide some really nice features, it is IMO, too heavy of a product for building RIA's for the Internet that most people use day to day, especially those on dialup. This is where technologies such as Javascript/Ajax/Interface/moo.fx et al. really shine. Rey... ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

When I can write Flash in the open source text editor of my choice and have it play in full glory in an open source web browser on an open source OS with an open source flash player that isn't 3 versions behind, then I'll care about Flash. Until then, it's dead to me. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

Ugh, I stopped reading half way and just skimmed the rest :P Flash 9 and Flex 2 are awesome, but its horses for courses. Flex 2 is for full on applications. JavaScript CAN achieve some of the same things in web applications, but it's power is that it works well with HTML and CSS in enhancing a web site, whereas Flex can do no such thing without making the site less accessible (IMO, though I think most would agree). I wish people would draw the line in the sand a little more rather than trying to put one up against the other every time - they both have very good strengths :) ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
