Well I'm a lazy bastard. I used scriptaculous which builds on

handy shortcut for document.getElementById() I just can't live without
it anymore ;-) It also makes the JS smaller which is a good thing. If
the choice of a dollar as function name really was a good idea is
arguably but new developers on DokuWiki will probably recognize it so I
wouldn't change it.

Fair enough. I understand the typing thing. I see lots of these "it must be good as its smaller" arguments which seem spurious. javascript and css are served as text/javascript and text/css so surely should be able to be served compressed (removing the advantage) without any issues? Or am I wrong?
