jQuery UI 1.9 Milestone 2 – Menu

Posted on by

The second milestone release for jQuery UI 1.9 is out, featuring the new Menu widget, in active development. It also includes updates to the Tooltip widget that we did since our first milestone release.

What’s a Milestone Release?

A milestone release makes it easier to try out the latest development code of jQuery UI without necessarily having to check out code from GitHub.

With a milestone release you can try out new widgets that are pretty far along (though not yet final) and provide feedback based on released code with a specific version number.

Note: the API is subject to change as the code is still under active development.

Menu

We’d love your feedback on our new Menu widget, to help ready it for the 1.9 final release. The API is already in good shape, so if you start using it now, migrating to 1.9 final should be really easy.

From the Menu documentation:

Menu transform a list of anchors into a widget with mouse and keyboard support for selecting an item. Its a low-level widget already used by Autocomplete and designed as the base for other widgets, for example, a menu bar or nested menus.

    Can you also release the theme packs which correspond to these milestone releases? In Git I see that some theming changes have happened since 1.8, but only the base theme exists there.

    @Peter: We don’t have a headless build for the themes, yet. That is necessary to create the themes without actually deploying the release to a production server. We’re working on.

    For now, you should be able to take any 1.8.2 theme and add the jquery.ui.menu.css file, that should get you pretty close.
