It's better to use jQuery when the task you want to do is rather difficult and the maintanence of the code will be easier! I agree!

Now we don't need to send a request to server and wait for the response. However, one question, I've, where I feel, Jquery shuould be a bit slower. For every event a search has to be made through the entire DOM, to find the places, where the event is registered. With pure JavaScript this is not the case. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's too much for a website it must load the entire site for a second, not only the javascript framework. Second or two?

Although I'm using Mootool in my new project, http://quickmessageapp.com, or whatever javascript framework, *It* will simplify your job. Just imagine, how big javascript framework and how fast internet connection nowdays? 24-68 KB just a second or two on todays broadband. Just my two cents :) My answer is yes.Yes, just go on with JQuery.

However I know that jQuery is, but the question is not what's the difference between jQuery and JavaScript, this is nonsense, but whether you need all the functionality given by jQuery just for a simple effect. Another thing I won't agree is that the code will be cached. If you code a page with the presumption in mind that everything is cached before "that page is loaded" sooner or later you'd know that not everybody's using cache enabled browser, gzip or whatever good thing that web developers would like to be enabled. It's not bad if you start developing with optimization in mind. greetings, stoimen Hi John,

The only reason I would use it in this case is if I am using 'slow fades' or similar effects on other pages and want this to be the same. The code will be cached locally from other pages, so the only delay would be the time taken to parse the code - negligible on any modern pc.

(on other pages) Just hotlink to google code to save bandwith for both your server and visitor. What is point of using javascript on single page, if jQuery is going to be loaded by visitor, anyway?
