I use jquery in my code just for fadein and fadeout. The latest version. The minimised version is 74 kb. is it possible to further minimize jquery because i use just two functions only and for that i thought not to load a 74kb of javascript code. is it possible?

    You could configure your server to gzip it, but I don’t think that would make it very much smaller. Do use the CDN however, it will be much faster than serving from your own server, in most circumstances.

    You could also configure your server to send out far future headers. This wouldn’t make your script smaller, but would improve load times by caching on the client side.

    An alternative suggestion would be to use a different library if you need only limited functionality (e.g. only the selectors or only effects).

    A few examples

    http://fx.inetcat.com/ – an effects library (3kb)

    http://sizzlejs.com/ – A selectors library

    There are more listed here : http://sixrevisions.com/javascript/10-impressive-javascript-animation-frameworks/

    Going with these might be the solution for you if you don’t depend on jQuery for anything else.
