I am working with a dynamic web project, where some of my JSP files need to use Jquery scripts.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.18/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

As seen in the above tags, i use absolute URLs that points to scripts from web(googleapis site). I use the jquery scripts mainly to achieve autocomplete feature for one of the fields. The relevant js file for autocomplete is as follows

<script type="text/javascript" src="resources/script/jquery.autocomplete.js"></script>

As seen in the above tag, the script src is relative URL, where i have already downloaded the script from the web(https://pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/lib/jquery.autocomplete.js)

My questions are,

1. Will the absolute URLs in the scripts tag (referring jquery.min.js and jquery-ui.min.js) work perfectly and serves it purpose when my web application is deployed as .war file into the production server remote, where there is no internet ?

2. I also tried downloading the jquery.min.js and jquery-ui.min.js into my relative folder paths resources/script, and gave the script tag as

   <script type="text/javascript" src="resources/script/jquery.min.js"></script>
   

But this is throwing the error in chrome's developer console as below

> jquery.autocomplete.js:257 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'msie' of undefined
    at receiveData (jquery.autocomplete.js:257)
    at Object.success (jquery.autocomplete.js:329)
    at i (jquery.min.js:2)
    at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (jquery.min.js:2)
    at y (jquery.min.js:4)
    at XMLHttpRequest.c (jquery.min.js:4)

3. Is there any restriction that makes such jquery scripts will work only when it is referred from its absolute source? but not when i download it to local folder ?

Suggestions for best practices in these cases, is also welcome.
