Including JQuery Library

The jQuery library is a single JavaScript file, containing all of its common DOM, event, effects, and Ajax functions. It can be included within a web page by linking to a local copy, or to one of the many copies available from public servers (such as Google or Microsoft).

For linking to local copy you need to download it. You can download it from here.

Now for linking it to your page, you can include it.

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>

Or if you want to link it directly to through the copies available from public servers you can use.

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

Or

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
