A:
It will not, jQuery is built on javascript, and is javascript itself.
jQuery (and any other javascript library) is just a bunch of javascript that makes things easier by making the stuff you do 400 times much easier/concise/terse...but it's still all javascript.

No. jquery is a "javascript" Library.

That's like the worst metaphor ever :) Maybe "Can't drive a Porsche on a bike path"

This question sums up exactly why developers new to JavaScript should not just dive straight into a library but learn the fundamentals of JavaScript first.
Watch some of Doug Crockford's videos on the YDN for a start, read a book or two, then you will realise why libraries like JQuery are as good as they are and how to extend them
No it will not work, because it's built using JavaScript

But, everyone knows jQuery is coded in pixie dust, has no bugs, solves all browser problems and heals cancer! Surely it can run without JavaScript through sheer force of bloody magic or something?!

A:
Javacript is an interpreted language. "Disabling javascript" in the Browser disables the javascript interpreter. Everything written in javascript will be ignored this also applies to jquery, which is just a piece of javascript code.

A:
Since Jquery is a javascript library(written in javascript), disabling javscript automatically disable Jquery..
