Exactly which jquery files are you using when you get these errors? Which version of jquery and which version of jquery-ui?
I had several similar (though not identical) problems with ui.droppable() recently, and the solution involved matching jquery 1.2.4a with jquery-ui 1.5b4. jquery 1.2.3 caused jquery-ui 1.5b4 to throw the errors. Also, using the jquery-ui website's customized download builder fixed some dependency issues that were formerly causing "foo is not a function" errors.
