Plone: Upgrading jQuery

Question

Using the jQuery SlickGrid plugin with Plone 4.1 and trying to resize a grid column trips up this jQuery 1.4.4 error, which has been fixed in more recent versions.

Is it possible to upgrade the core version of jQuery as used by Plone, and if so, how can this be done?

Answer 1

Updating jQuery in Plone is not trivial because many scripts (including the integration of JQueryTools) depend on jQuery 1.4. JQuery is part of Products.CMFPlone. Thus, the update may break features.

Discussions are underway on the Plone developers mailing list about jQuery and jQuery UI.
