jquery from cdn [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can check whether the jquery object exists after including the file so you have a failsafe (very rare)

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined')
{
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); //local
}
</script>

So, for the links you asked for

MS validate.js - http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery.Validate/1.6/jQuery.Validate.min.js

Google jquery.min.js - http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.0/jquery.min.js

Google jquery.ui.js - http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js

Have a look at this question : Microsoft CDN for jQuery or Google CDN? They talk about your problem as well

Answer 2

Already answered a similar questions at jquery ui - how to use google CDN

You can make the call using

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.9/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" /> 
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.9/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

You can also load jQuery from Microsoft CDN at

<script src=" http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.5.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

You can also link to other Ui themes by changes the name of the theme. In This case change the name base to any other theme name /base/jquery-ui.css to any other theme.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.9/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

Check out the jQuery UI Blog for a link of all CDN links http://blog.jqueryui.com/

If you want to revert back to your host in case Google failed, you can do

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined')
{
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
}
</script>

Answer 3

this is how guys from html5boilerplate.com do this

<!-- Grab Google CDN's jQuery, with a protocol relative URL; fall back to local if necessary -->
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/libs/jquery-1.5.1.min.js">\x3C/script>')</script>

Answer 4

Check this to check if jquery has loaded or not.

For loading jQuery this will certainly help you.

Also you can check if validate plugin is loaded or not on here.

Answer 5

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

jQuery: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js

jQueryUI: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.11/jquery-ui.min.js

for more info. http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html#jquery

for fallback something like this.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined')
{
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/path/to/your/jquery' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
}
if (typeof jQuery.ui == 'undefined') 
{
    // UI Not loaded
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/jquery.ui.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
}
</script>
