How about fuck off with your jQuery?

Is that seriously still a thing?

Anyway, here, have a Typescript solution

@alexbrooklyn Thank you for the robust piece of code, sir! You make this world a better place.

@Oktokolo I was really just considering to downvote your comment...

Not because of you but because that answer on SO just made me cringe soo daaaamn badly...

I hate that too, jquery is officially dead.

Converting jQuery to vanilla JS is usually pretty fucking easy.

Nonetheless if the solution works you probably got the concept od how to solve the problem at hand.

But if you don't want it, why be cajoled into using it.

I love stuff at vanillajstoolkit.com

Nowadays you don't need jquery, neither framework :)

I hopu more people would try this, instead of diving to framework 99%

@theMaintainer Never said it was difficult but still a massive pain nonetheless.

@danielstaleiny I don't use jQuery in most project anymore (I only needed a few parts of it so I build my own library for those things to still make it easy).

I do sometimes (depending on circumstances) use a framework though... primarily EmberJS (since that is the only one I've tried that doesn't make me wanna commit warcrimes).
