<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I'm
new to this mailing list and have recently begun the process of evaluating
jQuery. After looking at a wide variety of Javascript/Ajax libraries, I've
narrowed my choices down to jQuery and Prototype. Though I understand there's
nothing stopping me from using both, there's lots of overlapping functionality
from what I can tell and I'd prefer to pick one as my primary solution.<o:p></o:p></span></font>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I'm
having a hard time finding good information that directly compares the 2
libraries. I assume the in exchange for the much smaller file size, I'd be
giving up a good deal of functionality by going with jQuery. I've begun going
through what documentation and articles do exist in an attempt to put my own
comparison together, but I was wondering if anyone who has experience with both
libraries could provide a broad overview of their main differences?<o:p></o:p></span></font>
