Host jQuery on Microsoft CDN servers

After Microsoft decided to ship and use jQuery library for its JavaScript needs in Visual Studio, hosting jQuery on Microsoft CDN servers is actually a logical and good decision. Yes, some of us might argue that Google already hosts jQuery, but Microsoft can not recommend to use its competitor’s services, can it?! :)

Anyway, intention of this post is not to discuss why Microsoft introduced its own jQuery hosted servers, bu to share links to Microsoft hosted jQuery library. Here we go:

jQuery 1.4.x
http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.2.js
http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js
http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.1-vsdoc.js

jQuery 1.3.2
http://ajax.Microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.3.2.js
http://ajax.Microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js
http://ajax.Microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js
http://ajax.Microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.3.2.min-vsdoc.js

Microsoft also host jQuery Validation and jQuery UI files.

Currently Microsoft AJAX CDN hosts only jQuery version 1.3.2, but they will add more releases in the future. To see a full list of the JavaScript libraries and their URLs that are already hosted on CDN cache go here: www.asp.net/ajax/cdn

  1. If you use Visual Studio you will get jQuery IntelliSense by using the Microsoft hosted CDN. Very helpful.
