Quick question: can I use a JavaScript library (i.e. jQuery) in developing a Mac OS X Dashboard widget?
EDIT: I know that if so, I’ll need to pack a local version of the library and not use one from an online CDN.

Considering that an OS X dashboard widget is really nothing more than a mini webpage running locally, and that jQuery is nothing more than a huge amount of javascript, I’d say yes.
Googling I found this site which seems to confirm: http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2009/03/os-x-dashboard-widgets-with-jquery/
