There are many reasons not to use jQuery, but they don't apply in the majority of cases.
Even though some of the code within the library is wretchedly poor and wrongheaded, the library does have the virtue of working on the subset of browsers that the jQuery devs support, which covers almost every user in the world. Almost all cross-browser bugs are catered for in almost all cases.
Of course, when you find something that doesn't work, or that uncovers one of jQuery's numerous subtle flaws, it's a simple matter to drop back to straightforward DOM scripting; so for the most part, one might as well use jQuery until one finds something for which it isn't working, then continue using the bits that do work alongside your own code for the bits it can't handle.
I prefer to do things for myself, but that's only because I knew how to deal with all the stuff that jQuery deals with before jQuery was ever created. I still recommend it to clients as the easiest way of creating a maintainable solution.
YMMV and so on

And so it's not a problem.
Idiot.
30kb of very compact javascript needs to be turned into bytecode, that's not cached so parsing of it should happen every time - certainly on older browsers, mobiles etc.

Ta. Know some jscript and/or flash ways of doing it but if I could build some basic techniques into the VB prog reliably it's easier to debug and test, but will have a look at that.
PS My stuff has loads of high res images and it's not online so 30k is fine.

Web browser zoom/scroll in .net?
Bit obscure question but someone might have done it. I want to zoom in on a clicked document element. Without going into all the details, I am just getting the ID of element and splitting it into a string command typ and a number argument arg. Then zoom and scroll as here:
'test of zoom in on element
Case "zoomin"
ZoomBrowser(arg)
MainBox2.Document.Body.ScrollTop = MainBox2.Document.Body.ScrollTop + arg
When I first click the element it zooms but doesn't scroll. If I click again it then scrolls as expected. I would assume this is something to do with the redrawing of the document being incomplete when I attempted to do the scrolltop but it isn't going through the DocumentCompleted event after the zoom, so not sure how to get round the problem.
