Have you ever discussed triggering a callback in _setOption so that you can listen to state changes within a widget. For instance I want do something whenever the disabled state is changed however there's no way to know this as it currently stands...
This is what I mean:
_setOption: function (key, value) { this.options[key] = value;
Can anyone provide any information on the current status of the jQuery UI Carousel widget as the planning page hasn't been updated for a fair while - http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/12137729/Carousel
