jQuery UI 1.5 is out!  I really need to try some of these but with most of my projects having strict 508 issues – there hasn’t been any opportunities to experiment.  I like how much thought they are putting into things and it looks like more good stuff is planned for the future:

We’re already planning the next release and have a huge roadmap that contains plugins like grid, tooltips, menus, colorpickers, autocompletes and much more.

One of my favorite jQuery tools has also been updated.  Karl Swedberg has updated his ‘jQuery bookmarklet‘.  If you have ever found yourself working on a site without jQuery – you can ‘jQuerify’ it using Karl’s bookmarklet.

It’s a nice little tool that allows you to play around with jQuery on a page that doesn’t already have jQuery loaded and see the results immediately.

A great tool to use with Firebug!
