Well, as much as it would be perfect if "no matter what, new versions of the core won't break existing code", it's really un-realistic...
for instance, when 1.3 came out... breaking changes were introduced: http://www.learningjquery.com/2009/03/3-quick-steps-for-a-painless-upgrade-to-jquery-13 in your situation of "not having to update all the HTML files", your code would have broken, and with little indication of "why"... in the post for the release of 1.4, supposedly there won't be any breaking changes like that introduced, but who says future versions won't (no one can).... you should be changing your HTML files one by one making sure your code still works on a page by page basis On Dec 15, 4:55 am, seba <sebastianov...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Is JQuery back compatible ? > > I'm trying to understand if it is better to use > > <SCRIPT SRC="jquery-1.3.2.js"></SCRIPT> > > or > > <SCRIPT SRC="jquery.js"></SCRIPT> > > if JQuery is backcompatible I would use jquery.js... htat would make a > JQuery update simpler... otherwise I would use jquery-1.3.2.js and > everytime that JQuery needs to be upgraded, it would require to update > all the HTML files.. > > thanks
