  1. Diem open source cms cmf for symfony and jQuery on :

    Thanks a lot for your hard work. jQuery UI is amazing!

    I’ll work on upgrading Diem to use jQuery 1.8b1 right now, so it will be heavily tested.

    Keep up the good work!

    Does the autocomplete widget require the menu widget to run? Or will it be refactored in the future to use menu?

  3. Richard D. Worth on :

    @Aubrey: for this release Autocomplete contains its own minimal menu. It’s included in the same .js file. In a future release we’ll pull this own into its own menu widget.

    @Tyron – yes, we’re working on doing proper documentation for the new widget factory

    @John Le Drew – just under a week away :)

  7. Vic May on :

    I was wondering why is such a simple thing as a content container widget missing from the UI library? Is it because it is easy for the user to implement it or is there any other reason for it?

    Thanks

    When adding a tab dynamically, it seems that jquery ui 1.8b1 creates 2 tab panels instead of 1.
    Anyone here encountered the same problem ?

  10. Aubrey on :

    @Richard D. Worth – Thanks for the info on menu support!

    @Richard D. Worth – JQuery 1.8 is a week away? Fantastic!

  12. Dale Larsen on :

    Can’t wait for the stable release as we can’t upgrade to jQuery 1.4 til this is completed. You guys do great work!

  13. Richard D. Worth on :

    @Vic May – I would guess so, but what do you have in mind? It’s fairly simple to add some jQuery UI CSS Framework classes to a div. The only widget I see coming along that would come close to this is a toggle panel.

  15. Richard D. Worth on :

    @digital – The demos for the new widgets are already included in the demo section of the release, both in the zip file and the svn tag. They’ll be updated on the website when the final release is on the website.

    Jquery UI is really great. At the moment I’m trying autocomplete and it is outstanding, the only problem I have seen is related with large results because in this cases the list is displayed above. I dont know if there is any property in order to avoid this behaviour. Thanks.

  17. Rafael Ospino on :

    Autocomple is a useful tool and this implementation is great, but, i´m missing scrollHeight feature or something that help me to set a list result height and scrollbar.

    Thanks

    In demos… slider->simple scrollbar, it looks like there’s error… sliding is set to vertical not to horizontal. Also, last one “slider controls tabs” also doesn’t look god.
