As I mentioned in the previous email in this thread, this is something that I've started to work with the jQuery UI team on. The issue of extensible plugins is very real - and it's one that may only be solved with code. I pointed to a mock-up of jQuery.plugin which could be used for improving the extensibility of any plugin that uses it (including UI) and I'll certainly continue to work on it if, for nothing else, to make sure that UI has a good extensibility solution that doesn't compromise the current API. --John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
