any clear guidelines and best practices on using JQuery and ASP.NET MVC together?

Question

Are there any clear guidelines and best practices on using JQuery and ASP.NET MVC together? articles, blog posts, books? not just MVC, but on the connection between them and known good ways and patterns of making them work together.

Accepted Answer

Since jQuery has become so popular, you might look into linking to a much larger site that already uses your JavaScript library of choice (like Google). I defer the drawn out explanation to Dave Ward's blog post.

To sum it up, it is recommended to use a service like Google's Ajax Libraries to serve up scripts. If you don't want to use Google's library to load up scripts, you can always use a permalink to the script, rather than having a relative path to the script on your server. Like this:

```
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" />
```

He makes some good points about how this lends itself to better performance with caching, latency, and parallelism improvements.
