How do I select more than 1 framework with jsFiddle?

Question

How do I actually get jsfiddle to use more than 1 library? I can only seem to get it to use either jquery OR knockout but not both. Yet when I look at other peoples fiddles they dont seem to have this problem. Really annoying dont know why its so diffuclt and no searches on the internet yielded anything!!!

Thanks

once you have select the js file then under that drop down it will display the nessary js files under that framwork then you can easily select/unselect your wanted ones. — Prageeth godage, Apr 09 '15 at 14:27

You can only assign one framework via the dropdown in the sidebar. If you need to add another framework you need to add a resource using a link to a CDN.

Should be able to pick the ones you want with checkboxes. How is this different than adding them manually, other than saving me time from tracking down the URLs. I must be misunderstanding the issue then. – John Lehmann May 13 '13 at 15:15

It's no different, it just moves the burden of checking whether the frameworks you're including are compatible from jsfiddle on to the user. – Rory McCrossan May 13 '13 at 15:54

@RoryMcCrossan : By that reasoning, shouldn't jsfiddle also not allow bad examples? ;-) Let me deal with any headaches... Thats why I fiddle... – Peter V. Mørch Dec 19 '13 at 00:14

"It's no different, it just moves the burden of checking whether the frameworks you're including are compatible from jsfiddle on to the user." - The only difference between selecting multiple frameworks with checkboxes and having to go chase down a URL is convenience. It's inconvenient. Plain and simple. – Spencer Ruport Dec 20 '13 at 16:50
what do you mean by CDN – Prageeth godage Apr 09 '15 at 14:40
@Prageeth a Content Delivery Network, such as [Google's](https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/#jquery) enables websites to use common versions of libraries which can be cached in the user's browser. – Rory McCrossan Jul 29 '15 at 19:03

Use this to add another framework. Sample showing knockout cdn

$.getScript("//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/knockout/2.2.1/knockout-min.js", function(){
    /* Lines of code */
    });

You don't need to explicitly call getScript, just use the "external resources" section to add other resources. – davertron Sep 23 '13 at 14:53

yes, just type the CDN address as string in the text box next to the "+" button in the External Resources section, then click the "+" button. – user266909 Sep 27 '13 at 06:21
