    Question Xara Applications - use of jQuery

    Adding a photo carousel or other similar widget has the advantage of jQuery being also being published.

    Does this version change as new jQuery version arise?
    Is CDN ever used?
    When not included, what is the best Site Head code that I should be including?

    Sad I had to answer this myself.
    It seems there is a special Name (UsesJQuery) that is an undocumented feature that still works.

    This article (http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...-A-Attach-File) mentions a lot of intentions that, 3 years on, I would appreciate hearing if development was ever taken down this route.

    Bug Re: Xara Applications - use of jQuery

    Dear Xara...

    Six years on with you continuing to force jQuery v1.11.1, with a publish date of 2005, on us, is there any chance of a simple conversation as to how to prevent this loading and replace it with a more current version?

    jQuery is loaded in with a Web Animation, a Slider or the undocumented UsesJQuery Name.

    I thought all would be well with using:
    Code:
    <script>$.noConflict(true);</script>
    
    
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-9/aliU8dGd2tb6OSsuzixeV4y/faTqgFtohetphbbj0=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    If fails when there is a copy of a Nivo Slider in a Variant.
    Without the above code, all is well. This is despite the sliders all having different IDs.

    Despairing,
    Acorn

    Dear Xara...

    I have now gone as far as coding up the following:

    <script>
    var $jq = jQuery.noConflict(true);
    </script>
    <script
    src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"
    integrity="sha256-9/aliU8dGd2tb6OSsuzixeV4y/faTqgFtohetphbbj0="
    crossorigin="anonymous">
    </script>

    I was hoping to benignly factor out jQuery v1.1.1.
    It works but falls foul of the stale code moribund in the Nivo Slider and, seemingly, all the other dynamic offerings you have in the On-line Content Catalogue: sliders, charts, zoom widgets.

    Can we PLEASE have an upgrade to jQuery as it is being flagged with four major security flaws.
    The collateral damage is clearly all the stale code in widgets where you have failed to update.

    The same failing to upgrade third party components is becoming more and more embarrassing; I have mentioned them all before but ani.css and the built-in web server spring immediately to mind.
