JS assets gzip output

Gumster

I'd like to use the gzip or combine feature of the assets output regularly, however, I often find they break a script somewhere.

Do you have any tips for getting multiple scripts (typically including JQuery) to play nicely together? Is it best not to use minified files prior to gzipping?

It's tough to say what may be causing the issue. Were you able to diagnose what script combinations may be causing the problem? You can break them out into separate js and css function calls but that starts to defeat the purpose of that feature.

I'll stop being lazy and see if the non-minified versions work.

I did try moving the order of scripts around, but sometimes JQuery has to be earliest.

Yeah... jquery should probably be the first because it will look for that $ variable for your plugins.
