3,276 PointsAre all plugins able to use the same jQuery version?
I am wondering that because if I use two plugins for example and my first plugin might not use the same version as the second.

3,276 PointsWhat do you mean by overlap?
Steven Parker
229,644 PointsLet's say one plug-in is documented to work with versions 3.2 - 3.7 and another works with 3.5 - 3.9. The :"overlap" would be versions 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7. Any of those versions would work with both plug-ins.

28,407 PointsjQuery isn't fully backwards compatible. It does a nice job overall but sometimes you will run into bugs if a plugin was made with an old version in mind. This is true about almost any software and programming language. Often times, depending on the popularity of the plugin, the creators will update it accordingly. Check their docs for this. Other times you might have to do the debugging on your own.
