Adding jQuery to Your Web Pages
To use jQuery, you need to download the jQuery library (explained below), and include it on the pages you wish to use it.
The jQuery library is a single JavaScript file, and you reference to it using the HTML <script> tag:
<head> <script src="jquery.js"></script> </head>
Notice that the <script> tag should be inside the page's <head> section.
Do you wonder why we do not have type="text/javascript" inside the <script> tag? This is not required in HTML5. JavaScript is the default scripting language in HTML5 and in all modern browsers!
Downloading jQuery
There are two versions of jQuery available for downloading:
-
Production version - this is for your live website because it has been minified and compressed
-
Development version - this is for testing and development (uncompressed and readable code)
