Viewing Ability to select SSL link to jQuery

Ability to select SSL link to jQuery



User: Samuel V. 11 years ago
Hello,

I am currently testing EverWeb and noticed on the preview code a hard link to jQuery
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

When used in a SSL environment it is source of some warnings.

Please, could it be possible or to select the http or https protocols or to be provided a soft link like for instance
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Many thanks,

Samuel

I would imagine that this was done to enable projects that require jQuery to be viewed locally - using the Preview function or publishing to a local folder - to test them before uploading to the server.

Personally, I would prefer to use V2 of jQuery but it doesn't support IE lower than V9 and a lot of users seem to want to maintain support for these geriatric browsers. My attitude is that, if a visitor wants a good web experience, it's up to them to install a competent browser.

On the other hand, the developers of EverWeb have to maintain a responsible attitude and take into account the fact that a large number of their users don't know what jQuery is.

jQuery is an incredibly useful and powerful tool but can cause problems in the hands of the inexperienced. Some EverWeb users have experienced problems with jQuery projects breaking and, in every case, this was due to them using a different version of jQuery to the one inserted by EverWeb.

The problem is that there are lots of instructions for creating website features based on jQuery going back over the years. Many if these are still viable but the authors (including me) have specified an outdated version of jQuery. The inexperienced unwittingly use this and the code breaks.

Anybody using code entry to create an item using jQuery in EverWeb should first of all test the project using V 1.9.1

Roddy is correct but with recent changes in EverWeb we may be able to change this. I will look into it.
