One of the internet’s most popular Javascript libraries has been updated last week, bringing jQuery up to version 1.7. jQuery 1.7 can now be downloaded from docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery. Alternatively, if you prefer a CDN, use any of the following URLs:
- http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.min.js
- http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js
- http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7.min.js
The upgrade to v1.7 does bring about quiet a few changes. There are plenty of new features, along with some old features that have been completely removed. For a full listing of what is new in v1.7 head on over to the jQuery blog.
