Pump up da Project: 5 Must-Have JavaScripts
JavaScript: Why not?
Using JavaScript is not only suitable, when there are no other valid options available. Using JavaScript as I read it is already suitable, as soon as other solutions are more complex, take more lines of code or fall behind in other ways. Instead of breaking my fingers writing 10 lines with pre-fixed code I usually prefer using a JavaScript. Most of the projects I collaborate on have jQuery embedded anyway, so why not make use of functionality already there. Some smaller projects of mine don’t use jQuery, yet rely on JavaScript one way or the other. Also there, I see no need to dispense with JavaScript completely, even if I were able to live without it.
