What version of Bootstrap should/can I use for jQuery 1.8.3? (not v3)

Question

Edit: I know that I cannot use Bootstrap version 3, because it requires JQuery 1.9.1. I don't want to use that version of Bootstrap, I want to know what is the highest version of Bootstrap I can use with the constraint of jQuery 1.8.3.

I am setting up a page within a site built on JQuery v1.8.3. I'd like to avoid upgrading JQuery if possible, because that would be far-reaching and complex. I want to include Bootstrap on this page, but Bootstrap v3 requires JQuery 1.9.1+.

I haven't been able to find a chart that shows the different JQuery requirements across Bootstrap versions.

I have seen this site that keeps old Bootstrap documentation, but I don't see the requirements specifically spelled out here, either:

http://bootstrapdocs.com/v1.0.0

Answer 1

The latest compatible version with 1.8.3 is bootstrap-3.0.3

Answer 2

I resolved the issue by only using the CSS from Bootstrap v3. This sidestepped JavaScript compatibility issues.

For my particular project, Bootstrap's javascript library was unnecessary.

Answer 3

Bootstrap v3's JavaScript requires jQuery version 1.9.1 or higher, but lower than version 3. For old versions, you can get the source code from https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases?after=v2.3.0

You can find the version of jQuery in sample files. For example, Bootstrap v2.0.0 used jQuery1.7.1. (bootstrap-2.0.0\js\tests\vendor) But I suggest you upgrade your jQuery version.
