Uncompressed is the raw, human readable, source code for the plugin. Packed takes the source code and runs it through an algorithmn which compresses variable names, methods, code, etc into one big line of javascript. You can find more information about it, and pack your own code, here: http://dean.edwards.name/packer/
Minified uses server side compression to further reduce the file size. Drawback of this method is that your server needs to be equipped to offer this version, and the file needs to be de-compressed on the client side. andy -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of shapper Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 11:30 AM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] "Uncompressed", "Minified and Gzipped" and "Packed" Hello, Most JQuery plugins, including JQuery itseld, offer three versions: "Uncompressed", "Minified and Gzipped" and "Packed". 1. Should I use "Minified and Gzipped" or "Packed"? 2. How can I create myself the "Minified and Gzipped" or "Packed" versions from the Uncompressed version? Is there any software for this? Thank You, Miguel
