jQuery – you’ve gotta love it!
I’ve been a big fan of jQuery for a while, but since wordpress moved to utilise the library as the core javascript library I have started to use it more and more…. but still only scratching the surface.
I’ve integrated it into the upcoming wordpress plugins and into the QinetiX APM product both under develop. Their ease of use is impressive as is the range of DOM manipulation abilities available with simple commands and no more than a few lines of code.
I’ve used it mostly at the moment for admin UI interface development for things like toggling form field inputs and adding hidden/alternative divs with onChange events, as well as adding things like datepickers. As I said only scratching the surface. Future plans have more use for DOM manipulation and grater use of the UI plugin.
With an active community constantly increasing the range of its abilities and producing substancial modular improvements and add-ons like the substantial and impressive jQuery UI it’s firm setting as the leading javascript library is firmly fixed.
I’ll add some examples asap…
