Google have been hosting several JavaScript libraries for a while now on Google Code and there are several advantages to loading it from them instead of from your server. It saves on bandwidth, it'll load very quickly from Google's CDN and most importantly it'll already be cached if the user has visited a site which delivers it from Google Code.
This makes a lot of sense. How many sites out there are serving up identical copies of jQuery that aren't getting cached? It's easy to do too... Read the full post
How to do this?
In _templates/header.tpl replace
Code:
<script src="{$BASE_URL}js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>with
Code:
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1.2.6");
</script>or
Code:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>and you're done!
