jQuery UI 1.9 Milestone 4 – Accordion Redesign

Posted on by

The fourth milestone release for jQuery UI 1.9 is out, featuring the updated Accordion widget. This release also includes updates and bug fixes to existing and new widgets that will not make it into a 1.8.x 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.

Accordion

The Accordion API has been redesigned for simplicity, extensibility and consistency with other widgets in jQuery UI. We’d love to get feedback on any compatibility issues you may have with existing code. Everything supported in 1.8 should work out-of-the-box in 1.9; if something breaks, we will work to fix it before the final release.

jQuery.uiBackCompat

As mentioned above, 1.9 will support the 1.8 API, as well as the redesigned API. However, this introduces two problems. First, some of the APIs don’t overlap cleanly. For example, in 1.8 you can collapse an accordion by setting the active option to false or -1; but with the API updates, you can set the active option to a negative number in order to activate a panel starting from the last panel instead of the first (similar to .eq()). Second, while both APIs are supported, it’s hard to test whether you’ve successfully updated all of your code for compatibility with the 2.0 release which will not support the 1.8 API. In order to deal with these issues, we’ve introduced a flag, jQuery.uiBackCompat, which can be used to prevent the backward compatibility layer from executing. This flag must be set after jQuery is loaded, but before jQuery UI is loaded. Toggling the flag after jQuery UI has been loaded will have no effect.

jQuery UI 1.9 Milestone 3 – Spinner

Posted on by

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

Spinner

We’d love your feedback on our new Spinner 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.

A spinner is a simple widget that allows users to increment or decrement the current text box value without having to input it manually. Increments do not have to be whole numbers — they can be set to decimal values (0.1) or large increments (5) for each click.

The widget uses the jquery-global plugin for globalization of numbers, including parsing and formatting of decimal numbers and currency values. This gives it several hundred cultures that it can support from the start.

Demo: Currency

jQuery UI 1.8.6

Posted on by

The sixth maintenance release for jQuery UI 1.8 is out. Along with official support for jQuery 1.4.3, this update brings bug fixes and enhancements for jQuery UI Core, the Widget Factory, the Mouse widget and the Position utility as well as the Accordion, Autocomplete, Button, Datepicker, Dialog, Progressbar, and Tabs widgets. For the full list of changes, see the changelog. You can download it here:

Download

File Downloads

Svn (contains final files as they are in the zip, with @VERSION replaced with 1.8.6, all themes)

Git (contains pre-build files, with @VERSION not yet replaced with 1.8.6, base theme only)

Google Ajax Libraries API (CDN)

Custom Download Builder

New Features

In this release, we’ve added support for jQuery 1.4.3 and IE 9. We’ve also added some new features to all widgets and interactions, which are listed under the Widget Factory below.

Widget Factory

All widgets created through the widget factory now trigger a create event upon creation of each instance. For example, when creating a dialog via $( "#dialog" ).dialog() you can bind to the dialogcreate event or specify a create callback.

You can now specify additional logic for gathering options that should take precedence over default values, but not over options passed on initialization. Prior to this release, the widget factory had built-in support for using the metadata plugin to gather such options. As of 1.8.6, you can now specify whatever logic you want by creating a _getCreateOptions() method in your widget; the default method uses the metadata plugin to maintain backward compatibility.

When setting options via the option method, the full set of options is passed to a new method called _setOptions. The default implementation is to just pass off each individual option to the existing _setOption method. However, you may want to override _setOptions in order to batch the updates. Check out the dialog widget for a nice example of batching updates.

Datepicker

The datepicker widget now has support for two more localizations: Galician and Portuguese.

Progressbar

Progressbar has finally received an update, with the addition of a new callback. There is now a complete event that is triggered when the value reaches the maximum of 100%.

Effects

Color animations now support the borderColor shorthand property for animating all four sides with a single property.

Changelog

See the 1.8.6 Upgrade Guide for a list of changes that may affect you when upgrading from 1.8.5. For full details on what’s included in this release see the 1.8.6 Changelog.

jQuery UI 1.8.4

Posted on by

The fourth maintenance release for jQuery UI 1.8 is out. This update brings bug fixes for the Droppable, Resizable, Selectable and Sortable interactions as well as the Accordion, Autocomplete, Button, Datepicker Dialog, Progressbar, Slider and Tabs widgets. jQuery UI 1.8.3 was released a few days prior to 1.8.4, but there was a problem with the build system that caused some of the files to not contain any copyright information. If you noticed the 1.8.3 release and upgraded, please upgrade to 1.8.4. For the full list of changes, see the changelog. You can download it here:

Download

File Downloads

Svn (contains final files as they are in the zip, with @VERSION replaced with 1.8.4, all themes)

Git (contains pre-build files, with @VERSION not yet replaced with 1.8.4, base theme only)

Google Ajax Libraries API (CDN)

Custom Download Builder

New Features

In this release, we’ve added four new methods to help with setting the dimensions of elements (actually, we’ve modified existing functions from jQuery core). .innerHeight(), .innerWidth(), .outerHeight(), and .outerWidth() can now be used as setters. They all accept a number as a parameter, and that number will be used to set the width or height appropriately, based on the padding, border, and margins (depending on the method).

Accordion

You can now pass multiple events to accordion’s event option. See the hover intent demo to see an example of an accordion reacting to both clicks and hovers.

Autocomplete

Two new options have been added to autocomplete: position and appendTo. The position option allows you to take advantage of the position utility to customize where the menu will be displayed. The appendTo option allows you to specify which element the menu will be appended to, defaulting to the body.

Dialog

The dialog plugin has also been updated to allow full usage of the position utility. Setting the dialog’s position with a string or array is still possible, but will be removed in a future version.

Tabs

The tabs plugin has been updated to allow accessing tabs by href in addition to index. The enable, disable, select, load, and remove methods all accept the href of a tab.

Changelog

See the 1.8.4 Upgrade Guide for a list of changes that may affect you when upgrading from 1.8.2. For full details on what’s included in this release see the 1.8.4 Changelog.
