Hi Stasch, Be careful before you blame others of wrong deeds... unless you enjoy making a fool of yourself. Make sure you check the issue is not from your side as there is absolutely no such code in jquery, nor in jquery-ui.
My guess is that you did some wild copy/pasting from the jquery-ui demos, and didn't actually change the URLS. Another possibility is that one of your plugins calls for jquery right from the server, which is really not a good idea, as you mentionned. Otherwise, as Michael just said, post a link so we can really help. Cheers, a.
