The event is being organized by Oxford based digital agency White October with the permission of the jQuery project and with the help and support from jQuery team members. Last year, the jQuery events team tried to put together an event outside the USA and we found how very hard it was to secure a venue from so far away. The jQuery Team is very happy to be working with White October in putting the conference together, and we hope to have you join as we make our European debut!Sponsorship
If your company is interested in sponsoring the event please take a look at the sponsor pack, please feel free to email or phone (+44(0)207 976 4894) John at White October to discuss the different options.- 09-Apr-2011 01:53 PM

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.

http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/5685Take this example of jQuery Core getting a invalid string in .show().
- $("#ID").show("SlowAsFatCat");
Even with invalid string $.show() will still show the element with id of ID.
Example: http://jsbin.com/acoxe4
If jQuery UI is loaded onto the page the $.show() method in the effects library will take over as it thinks the invalid string is a effect. But if it can't find the effect to show it does nothing. It doesn't fall back to doing anything or it doesn't display a JavaScript error.
Example: http://jsbin.com/acoxe4/2
$.ui.show(); should provide the same consistent fallback as jQuery Core.

While trying to figure out some of the failing unit tests I came across a failed test that needs to be looked at.
When setting dialogs height explicitly the actual height is 18 pixels higher then specified.
- Seems to be a lot of threads starting everyday that are having problems with jQuery UI 1.7.2 and jQuery 1.4.x.I'd like to try to help by putting this information more up front.jQuery UI 1.7.2 is only supported with jQuery 1.3.2andjQuery UI 1.8 RC 2+ is supported with jQuery 1.3.2 and jQuery 1.4.2You need to use the right version of jQuery with the right version of jQuery UI.If you run into problems with jQuery UI please make sure you are using the correct version of jQuery for the version of UI you are using.jQuery UI 1.7.3 will be released after jQuery UI 1.8, to make the 1.7 plugins work with jQuery 1.4.2.Hope this helps!

We will be recording tomorrow night Thursday, February 18th and we would love it if we got some audience questions. So please either ask here on the forum any question that you would like answered from the jQuery Team. So far it'll be Rey Bango and I and possibly a few more of the Developer Relations (aka Evangelists).
In addition to submitting your question here you can call in your question to (804) 4jQuery, (804) 457-8379. (it's a google voice number and it'll dump you right to voice mail). Please remember to say who you are. We'll play your question on the show if we use it.
Some topics you might want to ask:- Clarify a feature in 1.4
- Ask us about future projects/conferences etc
- jQuery UI
- Plugin suggestions
- How to get involved
- anything you want!

Changelog
See the 1.8rc2 Changelog for what’s been fixed since 1.8rc1. For a list of all issues fixed since 1.7.2, see previous 1.8 changelogs.
Upgrade Guide
A full Upgrade Guide for easing the transition between 1.7 and 1.8 is in the works. This will be ready in time for the final release. In the meantime, one of the more significant (and breaking) changes in 1.8 already documented there is a refactor of the widget factory. This means anyone that has built their own plugin that uses the widget factory will need to make a number of changes for compatibility with 1.8. For a view of these changes, see the widget factory section of the Upgrade Guide. Also, see this sample implementation of a simple widget with both the 1.7 and 1.8 widget factories, and the differences, by Scott González.
Plan for 1.8 final
We hope to release jQuery UI 1.8 final after a couple days, assuming there aren’t any blocking issues present in this release candidate.
Thanks
A big thanks to all that have worked on all the bug fixes and other improvements that have gone into this release. We’ll have a proper listing of all contributors in the final release announcement.

We have disabled those components on our web site until the problems with these components can be resolved. In the meantime, we would like to offer these static links for jQuery UI and jQuery UI Themes. The Development bundle includes code for all jQuery UI plugins and the base theme. The Themes Package includes all 21 pre-built themes from the ThemeRoller gallery.

Ticket filed: http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/5133- When we set up the forum we left guest posting turned on. As we were going through the daily moderation duties we were getting inundated with guest posts that we needed to constantly approve. It was turning into a full time job.
In addition we were finding many double posts in the moderation queue. One from guest then immediately one from a logged in user. What was happening was the poster didn't know they were logged out till after they posted.
Finally, it was getting to the point were the logged in users weren't sure if they were talking to the same guest poster or a different one in the same thread.
With all these reasons the team decided to turn off guest posts.
We want to really step aside from moderating the discussion and make it more real-time. There will still be a new user moderation period where the first few posts are moderated but after that you should be allowed to post as usual.
Again if you see any post that is inappropiate or spam use the links at the bottom of the post to make a moderator aware of the post and we will take a look.
Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation. We want to make this forum the best place for the jQuery Community to get their questions, problems and ideas answered and discussed.- «Prev
