Using jQuery with ASP .NET
In September 2008 Scott Guthrie, the head of the ASP.NET team, announced in a blog post that Visual Studio would be shipping with the jQuery library. He writes:
“jQuery is a lightweight open source JavaScript library (only 15kb in size) that in a relatively short span of time has become one of the most popular libraries on the web. A big part of the appeal of jQuery is that it allows you to elegantly (and efficiently) find and manipulate HTML elements with minimum lines of code … There is a huge ecosystem and community built up around JQuery. The jQuery library also works well on the same page with ASP.NET AJAX and the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.”
With that, JQuery is officially embraced by ASP.NET.
