There is an inconsistency when you call the _trigger function.

For instance, lets say you have the widget "dummy", inside that widget you call; this._trigger('somemethod');

This means that element.dummysomemethod is called.

When you bind the function later (e.g.) var oWidget = $(...).dummy(); oWidget.bind('dummysomemethod', ...);

You can use (from within the widget): this._trigger('SomeMethod');

but when you bind it with the constructor (e.g.); var oWidget = $(...).dummy({ somemethod: ... });

You can't use the "SomeMethod" call to trigger it, you have to use "somemethod". In other words, there is a difference in binding and triggering when it comes to casing.

works if you associate

The widget ui.tabs does not work with jQuery 1.4. It adds:

<a href="#ui-tabs-[object%20Object]">

then it should be this example:

<a href="#ui-tabs-22">

I think it would be nice to have a widget to call when I make some server changes in order to display a success or fail message somewhere on the page.

example:

not to jquery standard but gets the point across.
