Re: [Chicken-users] JQuery in Chickadee

[Jim Ursetto]

I'll look at it, it probably makes sense to use a local copy for the default

What it should really do is fall back to the local copy if the internet copy is 
inaccessible.  This is not difficult but there is an internal issue currently 
preventing it.
