jQuery turns 3 and releases version 1.3


Hey guys! I have a great announcement to make. jQuery, the awesome javascript framework turned 3 years old today. Thanks to John Resig, who actually started this as a side project, we now have one of the best Open Source Software available. With this release, there are many new features, including:

  • Sizzle: A sizzlin’ hot CSS selector engine.
  • Live Events: Event delegation with a jQuery twist.
  • jQuery Event Overhaul: Completely rewired to simplify event handling.
  • HTML Injection Rewrite: Lightning-fast HTML appending.
  • Offset Rewrite: Super-quick position calculation.
  • No More Browser Sniffing: Using feature detection to help jQuery last for many more years to come.

You can find more information on the jQuery Blog, here.
