Initial Setup

Rate this Message:
I'm new to JavaScript -- and cannot get jQuery to work (unless I access http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js) Is this permissible, or do I have to download jquery.js to my server? If not, I have other questions: * my hosting service does doesn't have gzip compression enabled -- what file do I need to install on my server if I don't have GZIP available? * how can I extract that file (jquery.js?) from jquery-1.3.2.js.txt? (looked for GZipper, but from what I can see that's Mac s/w and I'm running windows) Please make you answer really simple, as I'm really lost here! |

jquery-1.3.2.js.txt just needs to be renamed to jquery.1.3.2.js (just remove the '.txt'). Or, better yet (IMO), rename it to jquery-latest.js (this way when you download a new version you don't have to update code. -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. |

It's probably not a good idea to use the one at code.jquery.com. You could use the Google CDN version, though:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> --Karl ____________ Karl Swedberg On Jul 3, 2009, at 11:51 AM, Andrew wrote:

If you want/need to "hotlink" to jQuery on a remote server, it's better to use ajax.googleapis.com. For example: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js That will pull the "minimized" (comments and whitespace stripped == smaller download) 1.3.2 version of jQuery from Google. Google DOES GZip these files, which is useful if you can't get it gzipped on your hosting service. |

Thanks, very helpful -- three more questions: * Is there documentation covering basic questions like these? * Can I reference the latest version, if so what would be the URL? * Can I also hotlink to plugins? For example I want to use TreeView, what would be the URL for that .js file? I've tried various URLs to do both, but not found one that works.

version is in the url current version of jQuery is 1.3.2, just change
url .
plugins generally don't have AJAX libraries and if you bootleg them from somone elses server you are at mercy of their server. Google with international network is a different story. http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/documentation/index.html#jquery Andrew wrote: Thanks, very helpful -- three more questions: * Is there documentation covering basic questions like these? * Can I reference the latest version, if so what would be the URL? * Can I also hotlink to plugins?

> * Can I reference the latest version, if so what would be the URL? The latest version would be the 1.3.2 mentioned in the comments. I don't believe Google provides a way to just get the 'latest', but you probably wouldn't want to, because jQuery can change how some functions work from version to version - an automatic update like this could break your site, and it might take you some time to notice, pin down, and debug. It's probably safer to work with the most recent stable version and test your code with a new version before upgrading. |
