Apparently, Telerik has begun adding jQuery to some of their RadControls, starting from release Q3.

I have an omnius feeling that this entails more clusterf***, but that's just based on general experience with some of this and a little bit of that ;-)

Check out Atanas Korchev's blog at Telerik on just this subject :

and the best of luck to us all when MS, jQuery, Telerik, JP Morgan and McDonalds all mingle and mash upon our desktops... ;-)
