Hello! Burin

Since the middle of last year we’ve peppered jQuery into a Prototype-heavy environment, and of course, it’s been playing nicely. We’ve been running on jQuery latest for much of the time too :)

This iteration we’ve started pulling out Rails helpers and have been using jQuery to hijack links and provide interaction instead. Our controllers aren’t spitting out as much retarded JavaScript, and we’re definitely very close to being able to rip Prototype out completely!

We had a smattering of JavaScript plugins that didn’t play well with other libraries, so we killed those and started using jQuery UI (datepickers, modals, etc)

In essence, we’ve annihilated a LOT of inline JavaScript, cleaned up controllers immensely, reduced filesizes, and pretty much brought sexy back.
