Including jQuery in your project

Options:

Host your own

You can download jQuery and include it on your projects webapp/js folder (you may have to create the js folder). Then you reference this jQuery file in your template by using:

									
 <script type="text/javascript"
   src="/js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" id="jquery">
 </script>
                                    
								

Use a CDN

Instead of downloading jQuery to your project, you just reference jQuery in your tempalte like this:

									
 <script type="text/javascript"
   src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" id="jquery">
 </script>
                                  
								

Use the lift-jquery-module module

This is a module written by one of the Lift committers, Peter Petersson. The idea behind this module is that it will provide easy jquery upgrade/downgrade of upstream updates. The module provides min version(s) of the jQuery file(s) in production mode, while providing the regular uncompressed version during development.
This is a separate module to allow rapid release cycles to keep up with jQuery upstream.

Please refer to the README.md file for instructions on using this module
