Shiny new javascript library: jQuery

Posted 12 months ago by jbr

We’ve updated all of the javascript on the site to be jQuery based, so hopefully idea dragging will be easier and less jumpy on all browsers. Although jQuery is a little strange to work with coming from prototype and scriptaculous, it seems incredibly powerful and extensible.

As part of this upgrade, you’ll notice that you won’t be able to rank more ideas than the maximum stated at the top of “my rankings.”

For any geeks reading this, I’ve decided that RJS is a toy and that the preferable solution to a JS-intensive application is JS + ERB. At some point, I may transfer more of this to the client side, but for now JS will live in the V of MVC
