I didn’t have any problems, except when it came to using jQuery UI 1.7.2.

When I open up a jQuery UI Dialog, I want the ‘X’ in the upper right corner to be hidden to force the users to use the buttons. That’s easy enough to do:

When using jQuery 1.3.2 with jQuery UI 1.7.2, this works as expected:

When using jQuery 1.4 with jQuery UI 1.7.2, this doesn’t work as expected:

See for yourself…

• Demo using jQuery 1.4
• Download the demos in a zip file

I’m not sure if this is a bug in jQuery 1.4, or if jQuery UI 1.7.2 just isn’t ready to be used with jQuery 1.4. I’m getting this problem consistently in FF 3.5 and IE8 on Windows 7 x64.

Ideas anybody?

Learning jQuery 1.3 from Packt Publishing is a useful update to the previous edition that I reviewed here. It’s a great reference and refresher for jQuery developers at all levels.

jQuery Enlightenment from Cody Lindley is a recent release. I’ve heard rave reviews from jQuery/Twitter users. Everyone should get a copy. It’s only $15!
