# Frequently asked questions |
|
|
|
### Why is the URL for jQuery without "http"? |
|
|
|
This is an intentional use of [protocol-relative |
|
URLs](http://paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/) |
|
|
|
**N.B.** Using a protocol-relative URL for files that exist on a CDN is |
|
problematic when you try to view your local files directly in the browser. The |
|
browser will attempt to fetch the file from your local file system. We |
|
recommend that you use a local server to test your pages (or Dropbox). This can |
|
be done using Python by running `python -m SimpleHTTPServer` from your local |
|
directory, using Ruby by installing and running |
|
[asdf](https://rubygems.org/gems/asdf), and by installing any one of XAMPP, |
|
MAMP, or WAMP. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Why don't you automatically load the latest version of jQuery from the Google CDN? |
|
|
|
1. The latest version of jQuery may not be compatible with the existing |
|
plugins/code on the site. Version updating should be an intentional |
|
decision. |
|
2. The latest version has a very short `max-age=3600` compares to the specific |
|
version of `max-age=31536000`, which means you won't get the benefits of |
|
long-term caching. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Why is the Google Analytics code at the bottom? Google recommends it be placed the `head`. |
|
|
|
The advantage to placing it in the `head` is that you will track a user's |
|
pageview even if they leave the page before it has been fully loaded. However, |
|
putting the code at the bottom keeps all the scripts together and reinforces |
|
that scripts at the bottom are the right move. |

|
### How can I integrate [Twitter Bootstrap](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) with HTML5 Boilerplate? |
|
|
|
You can use [Initializr](http://initializr.com) to create a custom build that |
|
includes HTML5 Boilerplate with Twitter Bootstrap. |
|
|
|

|

### How do I prevent phone numbers looking twice as large and having a Skype highlight? |
|
|
|
If this is occurring, it is because a user has the Skype browser extension |
|
installed. |
|
|
|
Use the following CSS to prevent Skype from formatting the numbers on your |
|
page: |
|
|
|
```css |
|
span.skype_pnh_container { |
|
display: none !important; |
|
} |
|
|
|
span.skype_pnh_print_container { |
|
display: inline !important; |
|
} |
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### Do I need to upgrade my sites each time a new version of HTML5 Boilerplate is released? |
|
|
|
No. You don't normally replace the foundations of a house once it has been |
|
built. There is nothing stopping you from trying to work in the latest changes |
|
but you'll have to assess the costs/benefits of doing so. |
|
|
