How to get the value of a slider's handle?


Hi, I got a problem when updating my jQuery UI. How to get the value
of a slider's handle? The manual says that:
$("#slider").slider("value", "1")
would give the value of the handle "1", and it used to work with 1.5,
but it doesn't work anymore: I get too much recursion here:
too much recursion
jquery.js
Line 2555
and here:
too much recursion
jquery.js
Line 2345
Using jQuery 1.3
Is this a bug or did the API changed for this?
Thanks in advanced.
