I want to upgrade jQuery inside my drupal installation. At the moment I have jQuery 1.2.6 and I would like to upgrade it to jQuery 1.4

I guess some Drupal modules still depends on the old jQuery version. I've tried jquery_update module to upgrade jQuery, but it didn't work. It asked to replace the original Drupal files in the "misc" folder with the new ones, but it didn't work.

Anyway, I was wondering if there is a better method instead of using another module

thanks

jQuery 1.4 breaks quite a few ajax bits in the admin UI, which are pretty essential. Luckily you can get around this by loading a different version of jQuery depending on what page you are currently viewing.

I recommend using the jQuery update module and modifying it with one of the solutions here (#7 or #11):
