That wouldn't be the first time. :-) jQuery doesn't really match the Web platform's design aesthetic, with method names consisting purely of punctuation, methods that can be used both to register a callback and invoke a callback (click(f) vs click()), the style of using return values to enable chained invocations of methods on a specific object, etc. I have great respect for jQuery as a library, but I'm not sure it's necessarily a given that just because jQuery does something one way, it makes sense for the Web platform to do it that way as well. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
