I like to use jQuery to animate elements with good cross-browser support, its syntax for selecting and manipulating elements is more convenient than the standard method, and jQuery load() and ajax() are extremely convenient. Combined with Backbone.js and Underscore.js, the sky is the limit, and the code produced is even relatively readable.
- jfaucett 14y agoyes, but pretty much any lib would be easier than manipulating elements with the standard browser APIs. I would say that $.ajax has very nice callbacks, error handling and cross-browser support, and I still think its simplicity is great compared to other ajax libs out there. But I still don't know if the "sky is the limit" for jQuery even in combination with Backbone. I mean you "can" probably build anything with this combo, but then again you can also build a 2000 page website in pure html - doesn't mean you should or its maintainable, testable, secure, etc.
