jQuery and Windows 8 JavaScript Metro Style Apps

Question

Can jQuery be used in Windows 8 Metro-style apps developed using the JavaScript API? I\'m looking at the samples, and there\'s a lot of standard DOM manipulation like doc

Answer 1

Yes, it works, as will any JavaScript library. I verified it on one of the tablets they gave out at the BUILD conference.

However, do not expect to use a CDN to load in the script. You have to download it, add it to the project, and reference it locally.
