querySelectorAll on old IE versions: something that doesn’t work
In today’s post, I’m going to show an interesting technique to solve a problem and then I will tear it to pieces and explain why it is actually useless. I believe that negative results should also be published so that we can save other people from wasting time trying the same thing. So here goes… -

Creating jQuery plug-ins from MicrosoftAjax components
We had an interesting discussion recently on the ASP Insiders mailing list and ended up talking about what cool stuff we could build on top of jQuery.

I wouldn’t have shown web service access as the main advantage of jQuery myself (the selector and animation support adds more value for ASP.NET Ajax developers) but that’s a minor thing, and there are plenty of other resources to learn about jQuery. Topics in Wally’s book include:

Microsoft Ajax Client Templates and declarative jQuery
Apparently Brian likes our declarative syntax. And jQuery. And he did something quite fun with them, something we had clearly not anticipated: using Microsoft Ajax’s new declarative syntax to call jQuery plug-ins instead of Microsoft Ajax behaviors as was the original intent.
