Possible to use zepto.js with GSAP instead of jquery for banner ads?

[somnamblst]

I used this codepen demo

 

See the Pen Dtqwz by GreenSock (@GreenSock) on CodePen

 

to create a 728x90 banner ad that will ultimately be uploaded to Doubleclick Studio. In DC's documentation they strongly oppose the use of jquery, though just a few weeks ago the documentation said if you have to use jQuery use jquery 1. 

 

• jQuery is not recommended for HTML5 ads for these reasons:As an alternative, you can use zepto.js.
  • Degraded performance on mobile devices because of reliance on time-based animations.
  • Unnecessary file weight: the majority of the library's functionality isn't required.
•  
• When I try to use an earlier (smaller) version of jquery it breaks the animation. Or I could just be implementing it wrong. The frame source of the codepen I used has these scripts in this order.

Thanks in advance for the awesome patience of the moderators

Here is that demo forked to use Zepto as the selector engine http://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/QbVWbz

 

Zepto does not have a slider component or the same syntax for click events so I removed that code.

 

Also, TweenLite automatically searches for $ and if it is found, will automatically use whatever $ is as the selector engine.

 

If no selector engine is found, TweenLite will pass all string selectors to querySelectorAll() (if supported by the browser) so you can do stuff like

TweenLite.to("p.special", 1, {opacity:0);
TweenLite.to("h1, h2, h3", 1, {opcity:0); 

without any selector engine like jQuery or Zepto

Has anyone told you how much you rock Carl? Out of curiosity do earlier jquery versions which were much smaller in k weight work with GSAP?
