  If you use this to load jQuery...
  https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jqu...
  ... you'll be sure to load the latest 1.x.x version.

  @Jules yes, however, I wouldn't want my application to suddenly jump to a new version of jQuery without thorough testing.

  I have been using Paul Irish's HTML5 boilerplate for that ..have you tried that? http://html5boilerplate.com/

  @Jules Nice Tip
  
  @Adrian - Great point, I think once you move off of development you def need to test with a specific version.
  
  @Scott - I have seen it before but haven't tested it out yet, thanks for the reminder!

  You can also specify just the latest minor updates:
  https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/j...
  Which loads the latest 1.4.x version.
  
  I forgot to mention the other nice thing about this is the download is gzipped.

  Why the https for jquery? wont that prevent browsers from using disk cache? Google is not sending a public cache-control for that asset.

  I thought they were.. a quick search and I found this http://www.hoisie.com/2011/01/19/yes-browsers-do-c...
  
  I could be wrong but it seems like they are and if you look at the CDN site this is the URL they have posted.

  I just checked in IE8. It does cache. I Couldn't image google wanting/allowing everyone using their bandwidth rather than caching.

  Odd.
  
  firebug/wget show the Cache-Control response header from the google ssl cdn as \
  Cache-Control: private, x-gzip-ok="", max-age=31536000
  
  that's not the "Cache-Control: public" setting that is supposed to instruct the browser to cache.
  
  Still even with a public cache control you're not going to have the cache saved to the disk so it won't be persisted between browser sessions.
