jquery in google spreadsheet script

Question

Is it possible to use jQuery within a google spreadsheet script? I tried adding it with <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script> but it says jQuery is not defined. Well jQuery work with google apps?

Answer 1

JQuery can be used only in HTML service, that includes eventually a UI called from a spreadsheet but you can't use JQuery in a script outside of this particular service. See documentation here for extensive explanations.
