According to the Blog post from the team, http://blog.jquery.com/2009/02/12/jquery-ui-17-is-the-new-16/ "1.6rc2 plus fixes will become 1.6 (compatible with jQuery 1.2.6) For all those folks still actively using jQuery 1.2.6, we want to provide a legacy release of the jQuery UI library based on 1.6rc2 that ports over as many bug fixes and improvements as possible from more recent code updates to provide a clear, stable foundation that will be fully compatible with jQuery 1.2.6."
"1.6rc6 plus fixes will become 1.7 (compatible with jQuery 1.3+) . After a lot of analysis, we've decided that compatibility with both 1.2.6 and 1.3 is not feasible in a single UI release while still having a maintainable and lean codebase, so this version will not be compatible with jQuery 1.2.6 or earlier." >From the Packt website, http://www.packtpub.com/user-interface-library-for-jquery/book "Written and tested on jQuery UI 1.6 Release Candidate 2" Therefore, this book that you are reading will not be compatible. (And I agree, who publishes on a release candidate?)
