How to determine and print jQuery version?

Question

Is there a jQuery function that returns the version of jQuery that is currently loaded?

Answer 1

$().jquery;

This will return a string containing the jQuery version

Answer 2

try

alert($().jquery)

Answer 3

Alert is good, but if you want to actually print the jquery version...

<script>
document.write($.fn.jquery);
</script>

Answer 4

I'm not sure how many versions of jQuery this exists in, but a jQuery object has a jquery property that stores the version.

alert( $().jquery );

Will alert 1.4.2 if you're using that version.

Answer 5

$().jquery; // yields the string "1.4.2", for example

Answer 6
