Yes. And Yes. The Interface plugin library is compatible with jQuery 1.1.2 and was never updated to be compatible with the 1.2 version of jQuery, let alone 1.3. jQuery UI followed. See http://rdworth.org/blog/2008/10/jquery-plugins-and-jquery-ui/ for more. If you end up deciding to use jQuery UI, we'd be happy to help you with any further questions you may have, on the jQuery UI lists: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/about http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui-dev/about - Richard
