Gerry,
I'm an old IT guy too... I was educated in computer science, learned
lisp, taught Snobol, apl, and Algol, among others... few languages
have excited me as much as javascript+jQuery!
I tend to read this list as as testament to John's work. Some ideas
are creative, some are utilitarian and others are less exciting. When
I read about people having trouble with IDs I cringe. I know that all
those IDs are not really needed. So much is 'relative',with beautiful
jQuery commands like each and children and prev and next, it's hard to
justify the use of IDs!
Well, I just felt like venting... I guess it's the old teacher in me!
As far as samples, I've seen them all (on this list), some are
beautiful, others work well, but are less than beautiful. I tend to
read them all, and have learned from them all.
I thank John for his one year old baby (jQuery) and I know you all do!
