Does GwtQuery offer the same browser compatibility as jQuery? If not, what browsers has it been tested with?
gQuery is an entire rewrite of GWT in jQuery.
GQuery and jQuery are built around selectors.
Both support CSS standard selectors plus extra selectors (:text :password :hidden etc).
jQuery uses the sizzle engine. A javascript engine which works with any browser and has optimizations per browser.
GQuery has optimized engines written in java.
The more appropriate engine is selected in compile time.
GQuery uses a modified sizzle version for IE6/7
GQuery adds compile-time optimizations when using compiled selectors.
Compiled Selectors
Selectors Performance
GQuery in compiled mode produces the faster javascript code to select DOM elements.
GQuery dynamic selectors are, in most cases, faster or equal than any other library.
