Re: 3.0 - Removal of JS Helper

Hey Mark - it is super handy at times! I've used it recently for -
Ajax Pagination
Ajax Links
Multiple select boxes where the options change depending on above selections.

I recently used the JS helper for the final Toptal exam question and completed the test site in 5 hours with it - most programmers take a lot longer and the recruiter was extremely impressed.

I totally see it is a lot of effort to maintain, but it is a great helper if you want to add a little bit of Jquery into an application without needing to know a huge amount of Jquery. If anything, I think the flaws with it were a lack of real life examples in the documentation which would have led to it being unused - but I know myself anyway once I got my head around it, it's a dream to work with!

I think a Ajax pagination example for the 3 docs would be good, but it would definitely be a shame to see this one go!
