我可以在同一页面上使用多个版本的 jQuery 吗？

Question

A project I'm working on requires the use of jQuery on customers' Web pages. Customers will insert a chunk of code that we'll supply which includes a few <script> elements that build a widget in a <script> -created <iframe> . If they aren't already using the latest version of jQuery, this will also include (most likely) a <script> for Google's hosted version of jQuery.

The problem is that some customers may already have an older version of jQuery installed. While this may work if it's at least a fairly recent version, our code does rely on some recently introduced functionality in the jQuery library, so there are bound to be instances when a customer's jQuery version is just too old. We can't require that they upgrade to the latest version of jQuery.

Is there any way to load a newer version of jQuery to use only within the context of our code, that will not interfere with, or affect, any code on the customer's page? Ideally, maybe we could check for the presence of jQuery, detect the version, and if it's too old, then somehow load the most recent version just to use for our code.

I had the idea of loading jQuery in an <iframe> in the customer's domain that also includes our <script> , which seems like it might be feasible, but I'm hoping there's a more elegant way to do it (not to mention without the performance and complexity penalties of extra <iframe> s).

Yes, it's doable due to jQuery's noconflict mode. http://blog.nemikor.com/2009/10/03/using-multiple-versions-of-jquery/

<!-- load jQuery 1.1.3 -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/jquery-1.1.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var jQuery_1_1_3 = $.noConflict(true);
</script>

<!-- load jQuery 1.3.2 -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var jQuery_1_3_2 = $.noConflict(true);
</script>

Then, instead of $('#selector').function(); , you'd do jQuery_1_3_2('#selector').function(); or jQuery_1_1_3('#selector').function(); .

After looking at this and trying it out I found it actually didn't allow more than one instance of jquery to run at a time. After searching around I found that this did just the trick and was a whole lot less code.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>var $j = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
   console.log($().jquery); // This prints v1.4.2
   console.log($j().jquery); // This prints v1.9.1
  });
</script>

So then adding the "j" after the "$" was all I needed to do.

$j(function() {
  $j('.button-pro').on('click', function() {
    var el = $('#cnt' + this.id.replace('btn', ''));
    $j('#contentnew > div').not(el).animate({
      height: "toggle",
      opacity: "toggle"
    }, 100).hide();
    el.toggle();
  });
});

Taken from http://forum.jquery.com/topic/multiple-versions-of-jquery-on-the-same-page :

• Original page loads his "jquery.versionX.js" -- $ and jQuery belong to versionX.
• You call your "jquery.versionY.js" -- now $ and jQuery belong to versionY, plus _$ and _jQuery belong to versionX.
• my_jQuery = jQuery.noConflict(true); -- now $ and jQuery belong to versionX, _$ and _jQuery are probably null, and my_jQuery is versionY.

It is possible to load the second version of the jQuery use it and then restore to the original or keep the second version if there was no jQuery loaded before. Here is an example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var jQueryTemp = jQuery.noConflict(true);
    var jQueryOriginal = jQuery || jQueryTemp;
    if (window.jQuery){
        console.log('Original jQuery: ', jQuery.fn.jquery);
        console.log('Second jQuery: ', jQueryTemp.fn.jquery);
    }
    window.jQuery = window.$ = jQueryTemp;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    console.log('Script using second: ', jQuery.fn.jquery);
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // Restore original jQuery:
    window.jQuery = window.$ = jQueryOriginal;
    console.log('Script using original or the only version: ', jQuery.fn.jquery);
</script>

You can have as many different jQuery versions on your page as you want.

Use jQuery.noConflict() :

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
    var $i = jQuery.noConflict();
    alert($i.fn.jquery);
</script> 

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
    var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
    alert($j.fn.jquery);
</script> 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
    var $k = jQuery.noConflict();
    alert($k.fn.jquery);
</script>

I would like to say that you must always use jQuery latest or recent stable versions. However if you need to do some work with others versions then you can add that version and renamed the $ to some other name. For instance

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>var $oldjQuery = $.noConflict(true);</script>

Look here if you write something using $ then you will get the latest version. But if you need to do anything with old then just use $oldjQuery instead of $ .

Here is an example:

$(function(){console.log($.fn.jquery)});
$oldjQuery (function(){console.log($oldjQuery.fn.jquery)})

Answer 7

Absolutely, yes you can. This link contains details about how you can achieve that: https://api.jquery.com/jquery.noconflict/ .

Answer 8

<script type="text/javascript" 
src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>var $j = $.noConflict(true);</script>

It was not working for me then I changed it to

<script>var jQuery = $.noConflict(true);</script>

and it worked for me.

To further improve Juan Vidal's answer, it is worth noting that if you use multiple jquery plugins with one version (eg 3.3.1) and multiple jquery plugins with another version(eg 1.10.2), for older version to work (and it's plugins) you must dig into plugin's minified/unminified .js file(s) and alter the line that will be something like this:

Example 1: module.exports=a:a(jQuery) to module.exports=a:a(my_jQuery)
Example 2: b(a,require("jquery")):b(a,a.jQuery)} to this: or b(a,require("jquery")):b(a,a.my_jQuery)}
