    Hi guys,

    I’m developing a theme with a filter functionality for custom post types. Now I was wondering, looking at performance and user experience, what the best solution is. Jquery or Ajax?

    Atm i’m using the jquery plugin quicksand to filter, is this a good solution or should I give ajax a try?

    Thanks for the advice!

    Ajax and jQuery are different kinds of things. jQuery is a sort of wrapper around Javascript that makes interacting with the html page considerably easier– some might say “considerably less crazy” :). Ajax is more of a concept, an approach to writing web applications. You can write Ajax type applications using jQuery– I do– but there are other libraries like prototype and mootools and you can use no libraries at all if you like and write straight Javascript.

    jQuery has the advantage of being bundled with WordPress and you might eliminate the need to load another library if you use it. jQuery does not appear to be the faster of the bunch though.
