jQuery in Zen Cart
Developer information on the use of the jQuery library
jQuery in the Zen Cart Storefront
The use of jQuery in the Zen Cart storefront is very much template dependent, with each template making its own choices.
Template Default in general will use the same version as the admin does.
To see which jQuery version your template uses, look at includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php. You will see something like
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-o88AwQnZB+VDvE9tvIXrMQaPlFFSUTR+nldQm1LuPXQ=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
which shows you version 3.6.1 is in use.
You can also open a browser window to the storefront, open the Chrome Developer Tools console and type
jQuery().jquery
to see the jQuery version.
