This is a fine section for general jQuqery questions. If your question
relates to jQuery UI plugins (as I see yours below does), there is the UI
mailing list:

This sounds like you don't have the latest beta version of jQuery (which
includes this method which used to be in a separate plugin - dimensions). If
you've downloaded the UI 1.5b4 zip file, it's included. It seems the
download builder on ui.jquery.com doesn't include it, so you can grab it
here:
