Yea, sorry, in my haste I worded it all very poorly. I was just
concerned about whether using jquery (and pulling it in from a whole
separate server) might have a lot of (or too much) bloat for the
homepage. I haven't used jquery, but if I understand correctly it's
considered one of the bulkier JS libs out there, hence my concern.
That's what I was trying to say (and yes, totally missed the mark!).
