Ideally you should use the latest jQuery files available on the jQuery.com website. By doing this you ensure that your earlier functionality will still work and you can use new features available as part of the new release.
Q: – What if the latest jQuery version is available and I am still referring older version of jQuery file from CDNs?
Do not worry about it, it?s a general promise made by CDNs that they will remain hosting the older version of the files on the same location where they had initially released; so even if newer version of the files are released, the older version remains there on the CDNs and your web page still works.
Q: – Do we need to add the JQuery file both at the Master page and Content page as well?
No, if the Jquery file has been added to the master page then we can access the content page directly without adding any reference to it.
This can be done using this simple example
<script type="text/javascript" src="jQuery-1.4.1-min.js"></script>
