Using jQuery with Prototype - Sweet!!!
As many of us know there are 2 leading contenders for javascript frameworks. Prototype and jQuery. I have used prototype extensively in my applications but I do keep an eye on jQuery goodness from time to time. Being a Java developer, I personally like the syntax jQuery offers (pretty much OO looking syntax and therefore easy to read and understand) but prototype is not too bad either. Functionality wise none offers more than the other.
But jQuery seems to be the preferred choice of most people and therefore you will find alot of sleek plug-ins on the web as compared to prototype. But unfortunately for me I can't use jQuery while using prototype because of the obvious conflicts in the syntax. (the use of $ is different on 2 frameworks). At least that's what I thought until I found this!
Seems like jQuery found a way around. This is the sweetest bit of news I heard for a while!!! Because it means that i don't need to change my existing prototype code to enjoy jQuery goodness.
