Upgrading jQuery

Upgrading jQuery is done by hand and involves the following steps:

• download latest min version of jQuery from http://jquery.com
• save it to public/javascripts
• remove old js: git rm public/javascripts/jquery-XX.min.js
• change ref to jquery javascripts in
  • app/views/layouts/login.html.erb
  • app/views/layouts/standard.html.erb

Upgrading jQueryUI by hand involves the following steps:

• download the ui zip from jqueryui.com using the custom download
  • check all modules
  • select Sunny as the theme
  • select the latest version
  • click download
• remove old ui files
  • git rm -r public/stylesheets/images
  • git rm public/stylesheets/jquery-ui-XX.custom.js
  • git rm public/javascripts/jquery-ui-XX.custom.min.js
• add new ui files
  • from /css/sunny in the zip copy all (css and images) to public/stylesheets. Yes the images need to be in this stylesheets directory for jQuery to find them
  • from /js in the zip copy only jquery-ui-XX.min.js to public/javascripts
• change ref to jquery-ui javascripts AND stylesheets in
  • app/views/layouts/standard.html.erb
