jQuery on Rails, pt 2
There ya go. Steve, over at b.lesseverything.com, has given to the public the secret to unlocking the awesome power of jQuery within the also awesome power of Ruby on Rails.
He has an excellent quote which I would like to reproduce in all its excellence here:
[P]rototype now makes me feel like I feel when I am writing c# code, I’ll leave it to your imagination what that feels like.
Go. Read the post. And then chuckle to yourself as you imagine all the new, cool stuff you can do.
Ha… world domination, here I come!
[Edit] Part three of this saga is at jQuery on Rails, pt 3
Sohum,
Thanks for the kind words. And the capitalization suggestions, I have made those changes.

Yep. jQuery should definitely release a version that’s identical to the original minus the $ map.
As an aside, we’ve been pushing people to use jQuery rather than $ in plugins, and most plugins do in fact use it. If you get your plugins from the jQuery svn, you’ll get much more up-to-date and compliant ones.
Incidentally, you should also test for $. in plugins (and replace with jQuery.) because many plugins use the jQuery namespace (or a subset of it) to hold settings (or things that might otherwise be globals).

[...] Posted in rails, prototype, steve, jQuery, joR at 161104 (716) by Sohum Well, jQuery 1.1 is out. It has native jQuery.noConflict to simplify the integration into other systems. Unfortunately, I don’t think joR is out yet. The launchpad still doesn’t point anywhere. On a related note, my other two posts on joR are in the top 5 for a google search for ‘jQuery on Rails’! Somehow! I don’t know how! Yea! Sorry. You there, Steve? No more jQuery.js hacking necessary! [...]
