Please show jQuery on the Install webpage

Getting help Issues
1

Handsontable would not work for me. Then I discovered it uses JQuery.

Please add jQuery to these HTML lines on https://my.handsontable.com/install.html
<script src="/dist/handsontable.full.js"></script>
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“screen” href="/dist/handsontable.full.css">

for example:
<script type=“text/javascript” src=“http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js”></script>
<script src="/dist/handsontable.full.js"></script>
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“screen” href="/dist/handsontable.full.css">

Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi @mike2

only the oldest versions of Handsontable are jQuery dependent. If you’re using a version after 0.12.6 (from July, 2014) you do not need to use jQuery.

Thanks, Alexandra. You are correct. The problem was the first example I chose from your website. It demonstrates Summary calculations, but needs jQuery. Other examples work fine without jQuery.

Summary calculations also do not require jQuery. They have been added a long time after we have switched to the jQuery-free code.

Yes, it’s not Handsontable that needed jQuery… It was the other javascript in the example that used jQuery. But now I cannot find the example on your website so perhaps someone else noticed this and removed the example. Good!

Thank you for clarification @mike2

I think that we can close the issue.
