JQuery on every SharePoint page. I’ve been doing a lot of work in the sandbox over the last few days, not all of it stress-free, but that is for another post. Something I wanted to be able to do was bootstrap a javascript library, for example JQuery, onto every page in the site. Outside the sandbox of course, there are a few ways to do this, however inside it your options are limited.
