jQuery goodness vs. Internet Explorer
Last few weeks, I was adding more and more functionality to I, Librarian using the wonderful Javascript framework, jQuery. I was amazed how quickly can Javascript increase usability of a web application, until I opened my work in Internet Explorer. It actually takes the whole second to load a page in IE 6, 7, or 8! Realizing that I am way over my head and that this is probably not the way to do it, I went to Amazon and ordered a book of jQuery recipees. I will have to postpone any kind of further development until I will have finished reading this book. I hope to learn a better coding practices to accommodate the surprisingly slow Internet Explorer.
