I'd recommend jQuery, not just because of this library but because it really is worth using. Their motto "The Write less, Do More..." really holds true. Plus, it's fast, and will be even faster with John Resig integrates his new selector engine into the base jQuery.
Edit: I should have mentioned the other fact that jQuery aims to be compatible with other libraries such as Prototype by allowing you to change how it's used. I've never used it personally, but it might be helpful for you if you're adopting jQuery after having used another library for a while.
- ars 18y agoYou mean using it is fast, or it runs fast? The new selector engine will make it easier to write stuff, or the code will run faster? That's been what's holding me back - I'm worried it'll be slower to run on browsers (especially old ones on old computers) then code written to do just what it needs to and no more.
- apgwoz 18y agoSorry for not being clear. It runs fast, and is fast to use. The new selector engine will make it even faster to run. I haven't had any problems with jQuery running on browsers before IE 6, but I honestly haven't tried it on anything older than that.
