hello guys, i assume you all have used jquery before, and it's quite powerful.(of course dojo is also powerful)
the most thing attracts me is like this:
$(".blahblah").hide(function(){$(this).html("test");})
.show("fast").......I've been thinking, why not give the same/similar ability to dojo's nodelist?
http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/3617 is a similar idea to mine. but as the last comment said, it is a port of jquery, not a extention to NodeList.
so, here's my solution:
http://code.google.com/p/jdojo/
I've extended several functions, like : contents, html, next....
If you're interested, try it :) and give some feedback to me please~
I believe I had the code
I believe I had the code that was created for that patch in a mostly working state, if you'd be interested in working with it. It is near complete, though I think ultimately we decided maintaining two API's (or keeping up with, rather) would be too difficult, and without assistance from users like you, full testing and compatibility would never really be possible.
I think it's a great idea though, I am especially fond of jQuery's automatic dom-creation and placement functions:
you mean you have the code
you mean you have the code for http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/3617 ?
where could I get the latest trunk of dojo's code?
yah
I believe I still have it tucked away somewhere. Several months ago it was given to me to test, and it ran the selected plugins and whatnot, but as I mentioned there simply aren't enough resources to maintain the jQuery API too ... If the jQuery project had to support all their "plugins" like we support the entire API surface of Dojo (which is basically just a bunch of "plugins" anyway, though licensed and shipped with dojo) they would have similar issues. I'll see if I can't dig up the code for you ... I would love to see someone who wants to "own" this project. Here shortly, we will be able to give you a google-code-like svn repository, if you would like to participate in the "dojo community repo", DojoC (home of http://dojocampus.org code)
