Hotlist.biz Mobile Menu Widget Update: Complete Removal of jQuery
The mobile menu widget on Hotlist.biz has been updated. The main change is the complete removal of the jQuery library. Now all menu elements and interactive functions are implemented using pure JavaScript.
This approach offers several key advantages:
- Faster page loading. Previously, the menu waited for jQuery to load, which delayed the display of elements on mobile devices. Switching to native JavaScript eliminates this wait, making the menu instantly responsive.
- Full removal of $.cookie. The jQuery Cookie library is no longer used to store user settings and menu state. All cookies and local storage are handled with standard JavaScript methods.
- Modern DOM handling. Opening and closing the menu, switching tabs, and handling events are now done using standard DOM API methods, increasing stability and compatibility across devices and browsers.
As a result of the update, the mobile menu is faster, more reliable, and completely independent of third-party libraries, improving the user experience and speeding up the site on all devices.
