Remove JQuery from the expander
Remove JQuery from the expander

This removes all of the jQery from the expander. It doesn't actually work though because the event that it's listening for is a jQuery trigger that it can't hear.

We're using an old and unsupported version of jQuery for browser support reasons. Rather than upgrade, it's far better to remove our dependence.

jQuery makes writing JavaScript easier, but it doesn't do anything that you can't do with vanilla JavaScript, because it's all written in JavaScript.

Once it's removed, we no longer have to worry about upgrading it, and users don't have to download the jQuery library when they visit GOV.UK.
