I know that it is illegal for a player running with the ball to jump into a tackle,but where is it covered in Law?Can't find any reference under Foul Play (law 10)

10.4(m), contrary to good sportsmanship. Once the player leaves his feet, it is illegal to tackle him, thus it is against the spirit of the laws.

Jumping gets penalised if it is dangerous. It is not an offence per se.

If dangerous, penalise. If not dangerous (eg jumping over arms of diving tackler), play on.
