Re: [Fofredux-devel] prototype vs. jQuery

[Andrew T. <ajt...@hi...>]

Good finds - these are worth looking at. I had unofficially chosen
Prototype due to its large base, stability, and my familiarity with
it. However, no JS coding has been done yet, so we can look at these
options.

I think a big thing to think about when evaluating these is how to
make them "unobtrusive" - graceful degradation to non-JS browsers,
clean code/maintenance.

If anyone on the mailing list has any feedback on JS libraries they've
used, nows the time to speak up! :)
