Why are we avoiding the built in jqLite? #3

Open LKWLaLa opened 8 years ago

LKWLaLa commented 8 years ago

Hi there, I see that the curriculum is directing us to write in vanilla JS rather than using the built in jqLite, but the paragraph that explains this is a little vague. I don't understand what this means:

"We're adding a DOM event to the actual DOM element rather than using jQuery/jqLite. This is because the API for them slightly differ, and as we can't guarantee what would be loaded on the page, we'll use native JavaScript events instead."

The above paragraph is the only explanation.

Thanks!
