Creating a slider bar using jQuery 1.2.1

Hai,

I've got a project开发者_如何学JAVA which uses jQuery 1.2.1, and I cannot update the version. I need to create an incremental slider bar the same as the jQuery UI example (http://jqueryui.com/demos/slider/#steps). The legacy download of jQuery UI is for 1.2.6 so even that will not cut the mustard.

Does anyone know of a way to emulate the same functionality using the older version of jQuery, or even know where I can download a version of jQuery UI which is compatible with jQuery 1.2.1 ?

Alternativly, does anyone know of any issues, such as deprecated functions, that might cause issues if I update the jQuery from 1.2.1 to 1.7.2 as this would be my ideal preference for all the obvious reasons.

Any help would be apprecaited. Ta

No problem. Just use two jQuery versions at the same time

...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/base/jquery-ui.1.7.2.css" type="text/css" /> 
//include 1.3.2 + UI
<script src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-ui-1.7.2.min.js"></script> 
//call noConflict. Now you can reference the new jQuery via $j instead of $
<script type="text/javascript">var $j = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>
//include 1.2.1 which is normally available via $ and jQuery
<script src="jquery-1.2.1.js"></script>
...

Why don't you try including the google-hosted jQuery:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 

and just comment out your current version. Then you can see whether everything stays compatible. I would have thought that would be a lot easier than trying to work with a legacy version.
