[TYPO3-dev] Best practice for ajax use in BE?

[Fabien Udriot]

Believe me, with JQuery it is really fun to write Javascript. I use this 
library almost every day and I found it very consistent.

I looked at the documentation of prototype and I still would advice 
JQuery. It is less code to write ! If you google the web, you can find 
links like this :

JQuery is fast enought. It seems there are some myths about the topic :

Ajax library is often a matter of taste and habit and it really depends 
on your needs. If your needs are DOM manipulation, than JQuery is 
perfect choice.
