Hi,

I've recently switched to jQuery and Interface and found that I like it
better than prototype. Now, thanks to my RSS feed from del.icio.us,
I've come to learn about Ext. It looks very nice, but I'm concerned that
it won't have all what I'm getting used to in jQuery.

So can I use jQuery with Ext?
Is Ext built on prototype, jQuery or from the ground up?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching and couldn't find it.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

You're going to love this. ;)

Ext can use YUI, jQuery, or Prototype/scriptaculous as the provider of DOM, event, and XHR capabilities. A bridge for Mootools is in the works as well, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that as an option sometime in the future. So, if you have a preference for a particular library and that library is supported, you're free to use any and all aspects of that library in conjunction with the awesome capabilities of Ext. You may even find that the Ext way of doing things is even better than what you're accustomed to in Prototype and/or becoming accustomed to in jQuery.
