Can I Use jQuery in Squarespace?

Yes, you can use jQuery in Squarespace. While Squarespace’s platform does not have built-in support for jQuery, you can still add it to your site with a little bit of work. Here’s how:

First, you’ll need to create a new Code Block. In the Code Block editor, switch to the Raw HTML mode and paste in the following code:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

This code includes the jQuery library from Google’s CDN. You can also include a local copy of the jQuery library if you prefer.

Next, you’ll need to write some code that uses jQuery. For this example, we’ll add a simple click handler that alerts the user when they click on a button:

<script>
$(function() {
  $('button').click(function() {
    alert('You clicked me!');
  });
});
</script>

Finally, you’ll need to add a button to your page that will trigger the click handler when clicked. You can do this by adding a Button Block or by adding a button element to your page’s HTML:

 <button>Click me!</button>
