Using jQuery 1.7.2 with the MVC Controls

[Michael]

I'm testing out the MVC control library and already have jQuery 1.7.2 included on the page.  I read a post that said to disable jQuery through the script registrar which I did.  It works for the grid if I do server binding.  But when I switched to AJAX binding it threw an error saying "Specified file does not exist: '~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.js'".  Any thoughts?

I am loading most of my view via ajax. When I look at the html coming back, I am seeing  "/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" all over the javascript that Telerik adds to the page....even though I told the ScriptRegistrar not to load jquery.

Try adding 1.71 to your project (but don't reference it anywhere). You won't get the error.

This seems like a bug.

Jon, thanks for the reply.  I don't want to even have that old version anywhere near my project.  It causes conflicts to happen with jQuery.  I ended up opening up the source code and modifying the code to look for the latest version.  Not a great solution but it works.

Yes, this is a bug of Telerik. No way to figure it out why.
Even though I am using MVC3, latest version of Telerik scripts, jquery-1.7.1, can find any answers. Not even from Telerik web site.
Disappointed this library over time.
