Personally, I don't like using jQuery Update module, 1. Seems like a lot of unnecessary overhead, and 2. It only allows to update up to jQuery 1.8, which is old and personally this module needs to be updated itself if you ask me!
So I need to add the following URLS to my head tag in Drupal 7, before any other js files get loaded.
Google CDN jQuery URL: //ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js
Google CDN jQuery UI URL: //ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.min.js
I've tried putting this into the theme.info file, but it is coming from a CDN, so this won't work, since the js in theme.info links to a relative path there where the theme is the root.
So, how do I add this into the head tag before any of the other scripts under normal conditions in Drupal 7?
I have made the recommended edits and for some reason the CSS file is no longer loading for that theme. I am using the media responsive theme here: https://drupal.org/project/media-responsive-theme
Here is what my theme.php file looks like:
<?php
/**

$breadcrumb = $variables['breadcrumb'];
if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
// Use CSS to hide titile .element-invisible.
$output = '<h2 class="element-invisible">' . t('You are here') . '</h2>';
// comment below line to hide current page to breadcrumb
$breadcrumb[] = drupal_get_title();

return $output;

I think maybe the jquery is being called too early, or there are other variables to unset within $js?
The list of JS errors that populates when I view errors in Chrome is as follows:
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined views_slideshow_xtra_overlay.js:6
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined fb.js?myw3hn:25
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined fb_connect.js:17
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined fancybox.js:7
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined views_slideshow_xtra.js:6
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined masonry.js:8
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined localhost/:1372
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined localhost/:1535
Uncaught ReferenceError: Drupal is not defined admin_menu_dropdown.js:3
Basically, "Drupal is not defined". How to define it?
