Common jQuery insecure programming

Question

I am writing some purely client-side jQuery (no AJAX). Should I be aware of jQuery-specific security holes I might inadvertently introduce for the clients?

Nope, I don't think so. jQuery is just a middleware, it sits on the API of the browser... — Šime Vidas

jQuery is a library to make native JavaScript much easier to use. The only security holes it will have are the ones introduced by the browser to any JavaScript code. These holes aren't that common, but they're the ones you need to look out for. The only thing jQuery might contribute is a few bugs, but it's tested thoroughly on all common browsers.
