Please don’t use “irregardless” – it is not a word!

What I meant was that the main drawback to moving from Flash to JavaScript is that you have to consider browser compatibility. In Flash, it pretty much works the same way in all browsers - the only issue is dealing with versions of the plugin. I wasn't speaking of jQuery in particular, but the issue of IE7 crashing is real. I'm certain it's not the fault of jQuery - it's just that IE is and always will be a cruddy browser. jQuery is the bees knees. It's simply awesome. I guess the point of my post is to make sure that people understand it isn't jQuery that's the problem if you have invalid XHTML. Rey,

From reading the whole post though, it actually seems as if you didn't have valid markup, in which case you would've had issues with traversing the DOM irregardless of which library you used. The main reason I really want to clear that up is because the jQuery lib is cross browser compatible and we go to great lengths to ensure that. I also realize that sometimes writing things down in a blog doesn't come across 100% as you may have anticipated so if I'm off in my thinking, feel free to let me know. :) Rey - jQuery Team So just to clarify a point, you mentioned this in regards to jQuery:
