I took the following test here: jquery.com/test/
And I encourage everyone here to do this. The results were that the test only failed in one instance:
137. ajax module: jQuery.post(String, Hash, Function) - simple with
xml (1, 2, 3)
1. Check for XML: 5-2
2. Check for XML: 3

I also posted this thread because JQuery can be abused with malicious script, known as JQuery-iclude.JS.
(seem to have appeared at 08/07/2008, author Alex).
This works as a CSS/JS header injector via a malicious ActiveX, at least it is important to have Netshield working in your browser or use a scriptblocker like NoScript inside to block these malicious scripts. I haven’t seen instances of JQuery-include.JS yet (the code at gnucitizen as the download was apparently removed), but the malicious potential is certainly there, works just like SQL inject and similar attacks, forewarned is forearmed, so keep your script visors down, read more about it here: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/040207-javascript-ajax-applications.html
