Can you use jquery illustrator?

[Jason Burnett]

This is probably a ridiculous question, but could I load jquery to run scripts in Illustrator?

Suggest you ask in the main Illustrator forum. This forum would be ideal, but it's pretty much abandoned.

As the previous poster pointed out - Illustrator does have it's own forum but I would have to question this.

If you know jQuery you SHOULD know Javascript, Illustrator uses javascript in its jsx script files. I flag this because I have heard many a "I know jQuery but I do not know Javascript" comments in the past and that is always a heavy concern. There is nothing you can not do in Javascript that jQuery has to offer.

In terms of working in Illustrator - Considering how jQuery is more DOM based and something more like react is jsx based I think that should give clear indication wether it will work or not.
