Can you point me to an example of how to use event bubbling with JQuery or Prototype to achieve UJS? That’s interesting Bart.

Now that being said, let me add that one of the really cool things about Lowpro and JQuery+livequery is that your unobtrusive "behaviors" can be expressed in a _declarative_ style. If one has to explicitly re-apply those behaviors then their declarative nature is diminished.

I also enjoyed the one before. I am about to decide which framework to use in our RoR project: well-known and supported Prototype or emerging developer's favorite jQuery. I lean towards jQuery, as it seems to be as powerful as prototype and at the same time slicker, easier and, also, unobtrusive. So reading your post, I wondered: Why is it obtrusive not to reaply bingdings after DOM manipulations? I thought UJS is about seperating behaviourial and data layers. Hey Bill,
