I'm gearing up to do some Ajax style client-side JavaScript code in the near future, and I've heard rave reviews of jQuery when it comes to this realm. What I'm wondering is:
What is the experience using them?
The term “cross-browser” in the JavaScript world refers to the ability to run the JavaScript code in multiple web browsers. So, if you have built a web application, it refers to the ability of your application to support multiple web browsers.
As we've said, JavaScript libraries are used to perform specific functions. There are around 83 of them, each created to serve some purpose, and we are going to cover some of their usability in this section.
AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. AJAX is not a programming language. AJAX just uses a combination of: A browser built-in XMLHttpRequest object (to request data from a web server)
All modern browsers support JavaScript.
An excellent resource is Jeff Atwood's post on JavaScript libraries.
He lists:
ALL the cross browser JavaScript libraries out there? You do realize that there are well over 100 libraries out there, so you should narrow this down a little, IMO.
A good place to start is with Wikipedia's Comparison of JavaScript frameworks, which covers Dojo, Ext JS, jQuery, midori, MochiKit, MooTools, Prototype & script.aculo.us, qooxdoo, YUI, and SweetDEV RIA.
