New Plugins
In addition to a number of bug fixes, this release adds three new plugins:
- Position
- Stackfix (update: later removed, changed back to bgigframe)
- zIndex
Please help us test these out and beat them up. The plan is to have one more alpha releases, and then two beta releases. New plugins may be added still before the first beta. The plugins in the first 1.8 beta will be the plugins in 1.8 final.
Thanks
A big thanks to all that have worked on creating these new plugins, incorporating them into this release, as well as all the bug fixes and other improvements that have gone into this release.

Excellent work. I’m going to use it right away and help get it tested / cleaned up.
Comment by Josh — August 17, 2009 @ 8:27 am
Good job. but what I am expecting in 1.8 is tabs functionality.
1. tab panel paging and on the pane prev and next tab view buttons are required. Otherwise while adding tabs dynamically, it is difficult to control the number of rows tab panes are expanding.
2. Also when adding a tab a x mark is added to close the tab which is at the centre. in the css its position should be corrected so that it appears at the top right corner.
3. When adding tabs How to find out is there a tab already existing with the same title?

@Sridhar dk – Please be sure to bring these up on the mailing list ( http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui ) or the bug tracker ( http://dev.jqueryui.com/ ) if you or someone else haven’t already.

Is still no autocomplete control???
Comment by mrjimmy — October 22, 2009 @ 7:48 pm
I’d like to see a consistent rounded-corner support in without using an image in IE. Would 1.8 have this feature properly working for IE?
Comment by Michael — November 19, 2009 @ 6:42 pm
Can we get ticket# 4587 fixed? Not being able to use the back button or to provide deep linking with tabs is the only thing holding me up from switching a few projects over to UI.
Awesome work!
Comment by Scott — December 2, 2009 @ 9:47 am
jQueryUI is a great project, it’s really a pity that it moves so slow… I guess in three years we’ll have the 2.0 release! Anyway, keep up the good work.
Comment by drochetti — December 5, 2009 @ 3:01 pm
Needs to include time support.
Comment by lynn — December 16, 2009 @ 6:01 am
The memory leak bugs are still there in this new release version of 1.8a1 as reportedly previously in tickets #5010, #4906, #4644, #4566, #4565, #4460, #4409, #4408, #4188. I hope the developers can really put this on top priority as the new features would be pointless without the fundamental flaw fixed.

sortable after drag the content radio’s and checkbox’s status cannot keep

Thanks for ui 1.8, and what about performance and themes, themes from ui 1.7 can be used with 1.8 without issues?
Comment by Reynier de la Rosa — January 15, 2010 @ 5:19 am
Please tell me, why fix ( http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/4787 ) is not included in this release?
Also even if i do it fix by hand, in jQuery 1.4, duration == ” is not instant, animation is shown as usual.
Comment by Konard — January 17, 2010 @ 9:41 am
Hope the themes can be updated and more new themes roll out

The link to the stackFix page isn’t working http://wiki.jqueryui.com/Stackfix
Comment by Scott — January 21, 2010 @ 9:18 am
Will the ThemeRoller/CSS for this cause any breaking changes to older CSS? I spent a lot of time in the Theme Roller getting things “just so” for my needs. What would be nice is if the ThemeRoller download included a theme.settings file that could be pasted into ThemeRoller so that you can start with an existing theme.
Or maybe use OpenID logins to allow themeroller settings to be saved.
Comment by tracker1 — January 21, 2010 @ 2:49 pm
@tracker1: ThemeRoller will accept an old theme url and give you an updated theme based on it. The only time you’d have to make changes is if we’ve added new levers to ThemeRoller. There are no new ones in 1.8.
As for resuming previous edits, see your custom theme css file for a really long themeroller url in the comments. You can use this to get back to a theme and make a couple tweeks and then download a new one.
Comment by Richard D. Worth — January 21, 2010 @ 6:20 pm
@Scott – see the changelog for http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Changelog/1.8b1 Stackfix was replaced by bgiframe
Comment by Richard D. Worth — January 27, 2010 @ 3:17 am
@Reynier de la Rosa. There shouldn’t be any super major issues using 1.8 with a 1.7 theme, but there are css and possibly image changes in 1.8, so you’ll want to pick up a an updated 1.8 theme to grab those. Also, there are two new plugins in 1.8: button and autocomplete, so you wouldn’t be able to use those widgets without a 1.8 theme. If you have a custom theme, don’t fret, grab the url from line ~45 of jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css and visit that once 1.8 final is up on themeroller. That’ll have themeroller generate a 1.8 theme with the customizations you did for your 1.7 theme.
Comment by Richard D. Worth — January 27, 2010 @ 3:55 am
@Richard (re @Scott) What Scott is talking about is the broken Link to ‘StackFix’ above under the ‘New Plugins’ section of the ‘jQuery UI 1.8a1′ stuff written by…. Yourself.
You really should know what you have written and got links to… Might be an idea to Fix that before others start telling you all about it.
If StackFix was replaced by something then changing/removing the link is the most obvious thing to do.
Comment by Dave — January 28, 2010 @ 4:21 am
@Dave – thanks for catching that. I’ve updated the post.
Comment by Richard D. Worth — January 28, 2010 @ 11:08 am
Great!
When looking at the tab definition in ui development, there is no “widget header” background. It would be nice if there were a format option for tabs that didn’t have the background and outline, but instead just clean tabs
jQuery rocks!
Patrick
Comment by Patrick — January 30, 2010 @ 10:59 am
@Patrick – This kind of customization is well handled by the jQuery UI CSS Framework. You can create a custom theme by hand that doesn’t have these styles, or override them using plugin-specific. For more, see the jQuery Cookbook chapter written by Filament Group.
Comment by Richard D. Worth — January 30, 2010 @ 5:09 pm
Any plans to add autocomplete mustMatch capability ?
Comment by Guy Gavriely — January 31, 2010 @ 8:09 am
what about memory leak for IE ??? It’s sooo crucial !!!
Comment by tep — February 1, 2010 @ 4:32 am
Nested sortables sound exciting, but are pretty unmanageable in this implementation–lots of jitter. I think I’ll be implementing my own version of this using hover events to connect sortables on the fly if possible.
Comment by Roger — February 4, 2010 @ 2:35 pm
Thanks for this great product!
I have a question:
I can connect to sortable lists 1-2, 2-1.
But when I connect three sortable lists 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2
it only connects two of them. Is this possible to connect 3 sortable lists?
Comment by Vladimir Jigounov — February 7, 2010 @ 7:44 pm
… regarding my previous post on how to connect more than two sortables.
The way to connect multiple sortables is not to call
sortable() multiple times:
$(‘#list1′).sortable(‘option’, ‘connectWith’, ‘#list2′);
$(‘#list1′).sortable(‘option’, ‘connectWith’, ‘#list3′);
but to call sortable() once with multi-selector:
$(‘#list1′).sortable(‘option’, ‘connectWith’, ‘#list2,#list3′);
- works like a charm.
Comment by Vladimir Jigounov — February 7, 2010 @ 9:09 pm
Lot of whining here to fix stuff.
The source and bugs are there, why not help out instead?
