Alexandre,
Thanks for writing this. It's a really great reference.
I posted this question on your blog too, but thought I'd repost here
and get feedback from others (maybe even Brice).
What are the advantages/disadvantages of using jqmodal vs. using the
new ui.dialog? I'm also wanting to get rid of thickbox, but I figured
ui.dialog was the better choice since it's more "official" now. But
I've enjoyed using Brice's other plugins (dnr) previously, so didn't
want to rule jqmodal out if there are benefits to its use.
Anybody have an opinion on this (jqmodal vs. ui.dialog)?
