If you just need a basic JSONP (with callback), you might want to remove the Ajax library in its entirety and just use a basic JSONP function.
For the rest, I would get your app working, and then start going through the jQuery code commenting out whatever you don't think you're using. Then test your app. You'll probably find a few things you commented out that you have to put back in, but those are easy to spot. This is why you comment out code rather than deleting it. Watch out for silly syntax errors like extra commas or missing commas that result from commenting out part of an object literal. Any good programmers' editor should let you select a range of lines of code and with a single keystroke comment or uncomment the entire range (or do the same with a text selection within a line of code, using the appropriate comment characters in each case). If your editor doesn't do this, go get the free Komodo Edit: http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_edit/ You could approach the Ajax plugin this same way, but it's complicated enough that it would be hard to strip it down to a simple function call - and JSONP only takes a dozen lines of code. See my ancient JSON plugin for one example: http://mg.to/2006/01/25/json-for-jquery If you start from the uncompressed jquery-1.2.6.js on the website, watch out for the exact point where the ajax plugin begins and ends - it's not exactly on a line break. You can check out the code from svn and get the individual files that go into jquery-1.2.6.js to see what's what. Once you have the code commented out that you aren't using, run it through Packer or JSMin, then GZip it, and see how you've done! All of the commented-out code will be gone from your download. -Mike > From: me-and-jQuery > > Well, in my case, I need JSON call not classic ajax.
