To jQuery or not to jQuery?
- by pws5068
I rather enjoy adding practical eye-candy to the networking community I've been developing but as things start to stack up I worry about load times.
Is it truly faster to have users
load (a hopefully cached) copy of
jquery from Google's repositories?
Does using jQuery for AJAX calls
improve/reduce efficiency over basic
javascript xmlHTTP requests?
Is there a practical way to cut down the number of included scripts? For example, I include jQuery and jQuery UI from google, table sorter, and a growl plug-in.
