		achairapart on Jan 30, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: You might not need jQuery I feel empathy for the OP, for two main reasons: 1) The fact that some people don't realize that JavaScript != jQuery scares me. 2) jQuery born when cross-browser compatibility was a mess and today it still carries that weight.
