Version

Current version: jQuery 1.3.2 and jQuery UI 1.7.2 for version 5.8++.

jQuery

jQuery.js file contains the whole script of the main library. This file is registered in PageBase, which means it is available for all pages in CatGlobe. In addition, it is ready to be used when writing scripts for questionnaires as well.

jquery-vsdoc2.js

This file is used to support full intellisence for jQuery in Visual Studio. In order to use the intellisense feature in a js file, a reference to the jquery-vsdoc file must be added to the script file like in the image below:

- TODO: research how to make a js template which automatically adds the reference directive to newly added javascript files.

This small library is used to simulate browser mouse and keyboard events.
