I sometimes think that my getElementsBySelector script (which inspired Behavior, which in turn inspired jQuery) may end up being the most significant 130 lines of code I'll ever write. http://simonwillison.net/2003/Mar/25/getElementsBySelector/
Absolutely. The jQuery test suite still uses the original markup from your script's test suite. I wrote my selector implementation at about the same time that Dean Edwards wrote his (but he published first). You were the absolute first, though. Major kudos to you, for sure.
I just remembered that I had a full list of those whose work I used as inspiration on the original jquery.com site (including Simon Willison, Dean Edwards, and the Behaviour library).
