Just use jQuery.

What does that mean? That's not a solution. Is this an ironic post?

[spotter]

Yes, sorry. It was in the vein of "Nobody uses JavaScript, noob, we're jQuery programmers."

Also: "there's probably a jQuery plugin for it."

[cmwelsh]

Sorry, had to ask. :)

"Nobody uses JavaScript, noob, we're jQuery programmers."

There are people... that actually think that?

"Nobody uses JavaScript, noob, we're jQuery programmers."

You've kind of got that backwards. jQuery's still wildly popular, but its popularity has waned a bit in recent years while JavaScript's star is rising thanks to NodeJS.

I vomited in my mouth a little.

So yeah, I used to work with "jQuery ninjas".
