We ran into an issue a week ago and decided No More!
When building a website and adding in JQuery functionality. It makes no sense for you to host that JS on your server. Google hosts these scripts for you, (isn't that nice of Google?)
Well, after Googling to find the most current Library Script Tags for the fifty billionth time, we had enough. A lightbulb went off and we decided to build a website that will house these codes for us.
Out of the ashes of wasted energy and time, rose a mighty website (Fabled to one day rule them all).
Scriptsrc.net was born.
With Scriptsrc, you can grab the most current library script tags with a single mouse click.
Supports
- Jquery
- JqueryUI
- Mootools
- YUI
- swfobject
- dojo
- chrome-frame
- prototype
- scriptaculous
- ext-core
If you take out the version numbers you'll automatically get the latest version and won't have to keep updating it, for example instead of using .../jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js you could just use .../jquery/1/jquery.min.js, meaning you'll only have to update the page when a major release takes place (eg jquery 2.0). I took out the bulk of the link to make it easier to read.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just thought I'd let you know, apart from that, nice work!
Thanks for the comment! We actually have it setup with a cron job so it automatically updates itself every night. It will also tweet out any new updates at @scriptsrc on twitter.
