Thin JS - Super lightweight javascript library

What does it do?

Thin JS is intentionally lightweight (under 1KB after minification in fact). It lacks features because it's meant for use where you want to add a little javascript to a site but not enough to include the 56k that jQuery weighs after minification. If you're doing enough stuff that the features of Thin JS don't cut it for you then just man up and use a full library.

Selectors

Uses document.querySelectorAll to find elements which means it's blistering fast with a tiny footprint, but only supports IE8, FF3.5, Safari 3.2+, Chrome (all versions) and Opera 10. Thin JS will fail silently in other browsers.

Each

Use $().each by passing a function to be executed for each element in the result set with this set to be the element in question.

$( "p code" ).each( function() {
  this.style.backgroundColor = "#d8fcce";
  this.style.color = "green";
} );

Event binding

Bind events using $().bind by passing the event type to bind to and the function to be bound.

$( "h2" ).bind( "click", function() {
  this.style.color = "#d11";
} );

Event delegation

Delegate events using $().live by passing the event type to bind to and the function to be bound.

$( "h2" ).live( "click", function() {
  this.style.color = "#d11";
} );

DOM Ready

You can use $.ready to set functions to be executed once the DOM is ready.
