jQuery Legacy Versions

January 18, 2013 by Webhead

jQuery is a great javascript library that I have beeen using for a while now.  The problem with using it for a long time is that websites get out of date and when you want to add a cool new feature to the website sometimes it is not compatible with an old version of jQuery.

In jQuery 1.4 there were some API changes that breaks jQuery UI 1.7.2 and earlier.  jQuery 1.7.3 is the lowest version that supports jQuery 1.4 and up.

Just my luck, the website I was trying to update used jQuery v1.3.2 and UI v1.7.2.  The site used jQuery UI intensively throughout the site so upgrading to the latest jQuery was not feasible for what I had to do.  Instead, since I was creating a new page, I decided to use the newest version of jQuery for this page only.  If I ever need to use both jQuery versions on one page, I can always use noConflict like how this guy says.

As a side note, jQuery UI Tabs was redesigned in v1.9 but will still support v1.8 API until v2.0.
