How to link to 3rd party JavaScript libraries? Is it ok to link directly to online-hosted libraries?

Linking to online-hosted libraries is not recommended, as there is always a possibility that the device will be offline and linked libraries won’t be loaded. To link to local JavaScript code, use a meta tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="path/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>

Note that all the files need to be inside ‘content’ folder, which acts as a root folder of the asset.
