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.

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.

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.
