Download jQuery 1.6.1

To simplify client-side scripting within HTML, you can use jQuery. This is an open source JavaScript library, whose syntax makes it easier to navigate through documents, select DOM elements, assemble animations, handle events, and of course develop Ajax applications. In addition, the functionality can be extended by using plugins. For more information, please refer to this page. The developers have released version 1.6.1 with the following announcement:

jQuery 1.6.1 Released

We’re pleased to announce the first update to jQuery 1.6! You can get the code from the jQuery CDN:
jQuery 1.6.1 Minified and Gzipped (Use in production)
jQuery 1.6.1 Uncompressed (Use for testing)

Additionally you can also load the URLs directly from Microsoft and Google’s CDNs:
Microsoft CDN: http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.6.1.min.js
Google CDN: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js

You can help us by dropping that code into your existing application and letting us know that if anything no longer works. Please file a bug and be sure to mention that you’re testing against jQuery 1.6.1.

We want to encourage everyone from the community to try and get involved in contributing back to jQuery core. We’ve set up a full page of information dedicated towards becoming more involved with the team. The team is here and ready to help you help us!
