    Hi,

    Is it possible to have just 1 js file for the jquery library and about 5 separate plugins ? I mean copying the contents on the plugin files into the main jquery js file ?

    I imagine some conflicts could occur but maybe im wrong ?

    Thanks in advance,

    I can......when jquery or the plugins get updated.

    Having a js file for each means that you can update them independently - far better.

    Redoing the 'cat' is very easy. Yes it is a larger download for visitors but there are less files to download. Maybe try both out in YSlow.

    Of course, with Google hosting the file repository now, there's always the option of linking to that, so that if visitors have accessed another site that uses that, the browser would have cached it and it'd be VERY fast!
