I read just now the following blog of Stephen Walter who was Former Microsoft ASP.NET Senior Program Manager many years, wrote some books and is present on all Microsoft conferences (now we work at Superexpert). At the end of the blog he wrote following:

We are inviting the authors of the top jQuery plugins to add their plugins to the CDN. Pay attention to this blog over the next few months to learn about the new jQuery plugins added to the CDN.

Stephen Walter work very close of Microsoft. On the http://www.asp.net/ajax you can find the reference on the blog. So I suggest you to ask Stephen Walter how one could practically publish the jqGrid plugin on the Microsoft CDN. Is it for free and so on. What do you think about this suggestion?

Best regards

What is CDN you can read in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.....ry_Network
http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax.....4.4.min.js
http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax.....-ui.min.js

Then the clients from somewhere in the world which loads you pages will load the files probably more quickly. It can be also that they has a cached copy of the files already on his computers and the loading will be done from the local cache.

If you need jQuery, jQuery UI and jqGrid for some web sites from your internal web server (on intranet of your organization) the usage of CDNs from the Internet can be or not be a good idea depand from the usage of proxy server in your internal network.

On the other side you can load the same files from the Goodle CDN (see http://code.google.com/apis/li.....tml#jquery
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js
http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax.....4.4.min.js

in the order which I also use. I personaly can not compare the perforance of loading jQuery and jQuery UI from different points of the word and just use as the URLs which started with http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/.

I have no idea how to place some additional JavaScript library on one from the CDNs. Probably a politic play a role here. If Tony be able to place jqGrid on one from CDNs I will imediately use it.

Any update about this???

First, thanks for great work. Today I've noticed that MS opened a new site for hosting shared ajax libraries like jquery. They are hosting  a validate plug-in from jquery as wel . IMHO it would be very beneficiary to jqgrid users if jqgrid could be also posted to and hosted on one of this CDNs.
