One of the things I hate about using CDNs is remembering the path for the latest version of my favorite JavaScript library. I end up having to pull a search engine, search for the site, find my library, copy & paste the link and then drop it into my app. I know, it sounds trivial, but it's just one of those "trivial annoyances" that bugs me.

I stumbled onto a site that makes all of that much easier. <a href="http://scriptsrc.net/">Scriptsrc.net</a> provides a dead simple way to bypass all of that because it clearly lists the most popular libraries on one page along with a copy & info button. You click on the "copy" button and you now have the full path to the most recent version on Google's Ajax API CDN.

Here's a screenshot:

Clicking on the copy button will provide this:

[code lang="js"]&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;[/code]

It's a neat tool to add to your arsenal and a time saver, at least for me. It supports:

<a href="http://jquery.com">jQuery</a>
<a href="http://jqueryui.com">jQuery UI</a>
<a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/">YUI</a>
<a href="http://dojotoolkit.org">Dojo</a>
<a href="http://prototypejs.org/">Prototype</a>
