Which jQuery needed to use CouchJS?

Question

I run this code here

<html>

<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery-ui-1.8.21.custom.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/script/jquery.couch.js"></script>
<!--<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>-->

<script>
<!--var dbc = $.jqCouch.connection('db');-->
<!--dbc.exists('database_name');-->

<!--if ($.jqCouch.connection('db').create('database_name').ok) {-->
    <!--alert("database created");-->
<!--}-->

$.couch.activeTasks({
  success: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
});
</script>

</html>

and I get the error. I have tried with all kind of jQueries such as everything with UI -custom and the 1.72 as you can see in the code. So why do I get this error? And where can I find which jQuery is needed to use the CouchJS?

Joy solved the jQuery -problem picture here.

Now some odd type-error here and source here.

Perhaps useful to other beginners with CouchDB

You need to uncomment this line `` and load it at the top before `jQuery UI`. — Prasenjit Kumar Nag, Jun 18 '12 at 03:29
Based on your setup [this](http://pastie.org/4106353) should remove that error, if it doesn't then check if your path to jQuery is correct or load jQuery from [CDN](http://pastie.org/4106376). — Prasenjit Kumar Nag, Jun 18 '12 at 03:36

You need to load jQuery before, jQuery UI or Couch JS because they both uses $ variable inside those files, and jQuery.js defines that $ as an alias to the jQuery object. So $ has to be defined first before being used. So change your code to this

<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery-ui-1.8.21.custom.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/script/jquery.couch.js"></script>

And it should Work fine.

For production websites I would recommend loading jQuery from a CDN( You can do a quick google search to find the benefits of using CDN for jQuery if you dont already know) like

<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
