I just looked at the latest JQuery release notes and noted the issues that they had to fix due to web browser compatibility issues. We simply must believe that these people are at the top of their game. If they have this many issues to deal with, aren’t I crazy if I even think of writing any JavaScript without using JQuery?
The rule I follow is, keep the JavaScript to a minimum, and always use JQuery or some other big JavaScript library. The reason is web browser “incompatibilities” and it is very costly and is an issue that is not changing any time soon.
