jQuery 1.9?

Is there any reason why jquery 1.9 is not used?

I'll take a stab at "No, not really."

The Browsable API works as is — and we don't have any test coverage to ensure updates to the JavaScript don't change that. (I guess it's not likely but a lot of people use the Browsable API so a breakage would be inconvenient to say the least.)

I'll make a mental note to think about putting some basic tests in place — there's not a lot going on so it shouldn't require too much.

In the meantime, is there any reason — other than keeping up to date — that you particularly want 1.9?

[carltongibson]

This is related to #1085 — i.e. updating Twitter Bootstrap to v3.

I'm kind of inclined towards the same response — i.e. Close pending a Pull Request.

Looking again at default.js there really is no significant JavaScript/jQuery in play. Whilst tests would be useful, updating with a visual inspection here would be fine (I suggest).

What @carltongibson says, yup. (Feel free to go ahead and close tickets yourself @carltongibson if you believe it's appropriate - we can always reopen)

I'll close this off - if someone wants to implement a PR updating to 1.9 that's fine and it'll be considered. Otherwise this isn't breaking anything as it currently is so there's no pressing need to update. I'd recommend any incoming PRs also include a couple of screenshots demonstrating any JS-related bits of behaviour still working. (Eg the tabs, syntax prettifiying and suchlike)
