Get the jQuery Version
Many JavaScript frameworks provide a version
property on their main object, providing a quick bit of important information about the framework.

The jQuery JavaScript
The jQuery version lives within jQuery.fn
:
var v = jQuery.fn.jquery;
/*
You may also use:
var v = jQuery().jquery; // "1.4.2"
*/
The jquery
property of the jQuery.fn
object provides the version number as a string. Not as easy as .version
access, but provides the jQuery version nonetheless!
