there's lots of code duplication about plupload

here are some fixes: http://github.com/nuddlegg/plupload/commit/8ba32a1bd9a68123af079e0ba16b275f4c82fc13

Plupload Core does not depend on jQuery. There's a widget interface to make it easy to implement to jQuery users, but that doesn't mean the core can leverage jQuery.

Ah okay. I was under the impression that this is an all jquery plugin.

In fact, that's going to make it very hard. For instance handline of the container elements that overlay the browseButton should actually be inserted into the dom tree right after the browse button instead of at the end of the body.

Overall, it will bloat the code quite a bit for the sake of staying generic ... which it already isnt as far as I see...?

The core is and will remain library independent. Adding a element after another doesn't require much more code that you would need using jQuery. Some methods will add to the size of the plupload core but they are currently minor and I don't expect them to be much more than the ones we have in there today.

There are lots of other JS libraries out there so making plupload jQuery specific would be bad. We want to open up for widgets for other JS frameworks as well that would be hard if the core would be jQuery only.

Frankly, I've forgotten bare-bones JS over time swimming in jQuery all the time ;)

He he, easy to forget that when you get most quirks solved by Resig and the rest of the jq team. Closing this issue down for now.
