In this release we included the jQuery JavaScript library in our scripts. For now only RadTreeView and RadScheduler benefit from it but we plan deeper jQuery integration in the future. In this blog post I will show you how to use the built-in jQuery file in your projects. Including jQuery If you have RadScheduler or RadTreeView in your page jQuery is already included so you can skip to the next paragraph. If not - read ahead. Add a ScriptReference pointing to Core.js as we use a slightly customized version of jQuery which...
