A daft question?

[Stuart Hemming]

Forgive me if this is something I should know.

I've just used the VSX for the first time to create a page and I note that the markup generated includes this ...

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
  <Scripts>
    <asp:ScriptReference Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Name="Telerik.Web.UI.Common.Core.js" />
    <asp:ScriptReference Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Name="Telerik.Web.UI.Common.jQuery.js" />
  </Scripts>
</telerik:RadScriptManager>

Now, I've created more than a few pages with telerik controls on and have always done so just adding an empty RadScriptManager to the page. What are the advantages of adding the 2 script references (or the disadvantages of not doing so)?

Hello Stuart,

The scripts, declared in the RadScriptManager when creating a RadForm are added when the "Use jQuery Support" checkbox is checked. The "jQuery support" would mean that even if you don't add any Telerik control to the page you would benefit scripting with the embedded jQuery resources in the Telerik.Web.UI assembly.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
