Is it possible to use Jquery in a confluence page (version 4.1)?
I found this user macro, Jquery , but it doesn't seem to work with Confluence 4.1
Thank you,
Hi Adolfo,
Could you just use the bundled {html} macro> E.g.:
{html} <script> AJS.toInit(function() { AJS.$("a").click(function() { alert("Hello world!"); }); }); </script> <a href="#">My Link</a> {html}
I tested the above on my local 4.1.4 Confluence instance and it worked. {html} macro is disabled by default, but can be enabled via Browse -> Confluence Admin -> Plugins -> Manage Existing -> System -> Confluence HTML Macros
Hope that helps,
Andrew.
Thank you Andrew. This is what I was looking for.
I'll just add some info because I've been hunting around and making a few discoveries recently.
****** What is the current version of jQuery used in Confluence? ******
This page:
http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?threadID=30940
Says that I should be able to get my version by doing this in the header custom HTML section:
console.log(AJS.$().jquery);
but I couldn’t find it in the logs (might be a log-level setting), so I did this instead:
alert(AJS.$().jquery);
Results in a popup that shows:
"1.5.2"
(I am using Confluence 4.1.2)
****** Using a different version of jQuery than the one provided with Confluence ******
This page provides a link to how to use two versions of jQuery side by side:
https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/19782/jquery-1-6
****** Other mentions of "current" version of jQuery ******
https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Including+Javascript+and+CSS+resources
Mentions that jQuery 1.4.2 is included in Confluence 3.3+.
Also mentions that you need to include the following in your Velocity template to use the library:
#requireResource("confluence.web.resources:jquery")
I assume this is out of date as it doesn't appear to be necessary.
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF30/Including+Javascript+and+CSS+resources#
mentions that jQuery version 1.2.6 is the current version.
There does not appear to be a newer version of that page.
****** Atlassian.js file? ******
https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+UI+Guidelines
mentions an Atlassian.js file. I could not find any actual file of that name in the source or on the server or in the communication with the server when a page is downloaded.
There are also several mentions of atlassian.js in the test files in the Confluence source. I suspect it’s generated and then included in the batch.js files, but I could not find any documentation that describes the batch.js file process.
A couple of the batch.js files include jQuery UI elements and other definitions and all seem to mention version 1.8.11.
Lots of dependencies on the following in the web-resources plugin file in the \confluence\WEB-INF\lib\confluence-4.1.2.jar file:
<dependency>confluence.web.resources:ajs</dependency>
Anyway, I hope this helps someone else who might come along and try to understand the relationship between Confluence and jQuery.

@Andrew was just giving an example here. Using the bundled {html} macro means that anyone with edit access can add naughty wicked JavaScript code into your pages -- that's why it's disabled by default. Use it with care.
BTW: I can confirm that:
<script> AJS.toInit(function() { AJS.$("a").click(function() { alert("Hello world!"); }); }); </script>
In a user macro works just fine. (Of course you have to click any A link to see the effect)
@Matthew J. Horn,
Thanks man, really useful information about jQuery!
Confluence 6.9 (released May 2018) still uses jQuery 1.7.2 (released 6 years ago on March 2012).
