Here is what you do to simple JQuery-enable your web pages served as Acre templates:

<acre:script>
 var t = acre.require("/freebase/libs/jquery/templates");
</acre:script>
<html>
 <head>
   <title>whatever</title>
   ${t.jquery()}                   <!-- tell browser to load jquery -->
   ${t.jquery_ui('smoothness')}    <!-- tell browser to load jquery UI with the given theme (and all required css files) -->
   ${t.jquery_plugin('cookie')}    <!-- tell browser to load a jquery plugin -->
   ${t.underscore()}               <!-- tell browser to load underscore -->
 </head>
 <body>
   ...
 </body>
</html>

Libraries

Recognized Plugins

Note: as a convenience, this library is capable of following dependencies, meaning that if you load jquery_ui or other plugins that depend on jquery, you don't have to specify to load jquery explicitly, it will be loaded automatically.

jQuery 1.4: jquery, jquery_ui, and jquery_plugin now accept a major jquery version number (i.e., 1.3 and 1.4) so that it will give you the latest and greatest versions of jQuery and/or jQuery UI. To be backwards compatible, jquery defaults to 1.3. 

<acre:script>
 var t = acre.require("/freebase/libs/jquery/templates");
</acre:script>
<html>
 <head>
   <title>whatever</title>
   ${t.jquery(1.4)}                   <!-- tell browser to load the latest jQuery 1.4 which as of this writing is 1.4.2 -->
   ${t.jquery_ui('smoothness', 1.4)}  <!-- tell browser to load the latest jQuery UI compatible with jQuery 1.4, which as of this writing is 1.8.1 -->
   ${t.jquery_plugin('compat-1.3', 1.4)} <!-- tell browser to load the latest jQuery 1.4 with the compatibility plugin for jQuery 1.3 -->
 </head>
 <body>
