Yeah I hear you. But to be fair, if anyone uses jQuery to do a select that requires a lot of dom parsing in a loop, is jQuery really to blame? Even I avoid that and I'm not a real programmer or anything..

Anywho, my major use of jQuery is for dom parsing and manipulation. It's just so darn comfy! I still need to know javascript for all the rest of the stuff the app is supposed to do though.
