document.getElementById('something') is not the same as $('something')
I'm well aware of this. In fact, if you read the thread you will see that I was contrasting against the views of
>>5-san. You and
>>15 kind of proved my point in this regard.
jQuery has to write isArray because typeof(Array()) === 'Object'
Thanks jQuery genius. Let's not forget Object.prototype.toString.call([]) === "[object Array]". Again, you are kind of proving my point "oh noes, typeof(Array()) returns object, I will have to use jQuery because I am a professional web developer."
There is no jQuery for C because th j in jQuery stands for Javascript. They are not the same language; not even close. The fact that you try to compare them shows that you don't know enough about perhaps either language; please do not repeat this behavior in the future.
Thank you for giving me your well educated and well thought out opinion on the differences between C and Javascript. Let's completely ignore the fact I was drawing parallels in development pitfalls between them and never even came close to comparing language features.
Of course, I do commend you for pointing out that C and Javascript are different languages. I was completely unaware of this prior to your stating it was so and shall now sign up to the "HTML 2 Programming" course at my local community college so I can get more fascinating insights like this.
