[with spkgs and patch, positive review] Upgrade to jQuery 1.3 and jQuery UI 1.7

[jason]

Upgrading the jQuery and jQuery UI spkgs in Sage will make available several performance improvements and new features for the notebook. Release notes: ​jQuery 1.3 , ​jQuery UI 1.7.

To test the new spkgs, please download and install (e.g., via sage -f)

• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/5447/jquery-1.3.2.p2.spkg
• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/jqueryui-1.7.2.p3.spkg

and apply the rebased v3 patch​ below to 4.1.2.alpha1's sage repository.

Note: When "downgrading" to the previous versions, it may help to delete local/notebook/javascript/jquery* manually, since their spkg-installs do not erase existing installations.

A first take on a much-desired jQuery / UI upgrade:

• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/5447/jquery-1.3.2.p0.spkg
• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/5447/jqueryui-1.7.2.p0.spkg

Install both packages and apply this patch​ to the sage repository. The patch

• Updates the paths to scripts and stylesheets.
• Tweaks interact.py's html_slider() and html_rangeslider() just enough to get the sliders to work with the new spkgs.
• Cleans up notebook.py, somewhat.

I've tested the examples listed in interact? with success. However, the libraries have changed significantly and there may be many other ways to break the notebook and @interacts. Please test away and provide feeback!

If necessary, rebase the patch against #6568.

[mpatel]

For p1 spkgs. Depends on #6568, #6840.

[mpatel]

Changes in v2:

• Rebased against #6568, #6840.
• Updated spkg-installs along the lines of ​D. Kirby's example.

New spkgs:

• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/5447/jquery-1.3.2.p1.spkg
• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/5447/jqueryui-1.7.2.p1.spkg

Note: When "downgrading" back to jQuery 1.2.6 and jQuery UI 1.6, it may help to delete local/notebook/javascript/jquery* manually, since their spkg-installs just overwrite the previous installation.

[mpatel]

Updated spkgs with fixed "set -e" problem (cf. this comment):

• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/5447/jquery-1.3.2.p2.spkg
• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/5447/jqueryui-1.7.2.p2.spkg

apply instead of previous patches

Great work!

There are still two places that the old location of jquery is referenced:

~/sage/devel/sage/sage/server/notebook$ grep -r jquery.js *
notebook.py:           <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript_local/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
templates/notebook/worksheet.html:<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript_local/jquery/jquery.js"></script>

[jason]

Also, can you post a picture of the new sliders up on sage-devel? Last time I updated jqueryui, there was concern about having the squarish sliders.

[jason]

(except for the two comments from me above, this has a positive review from me).

[mpatel]

Apply only this patch.

[mpatel]

Thanks very much for pointing out those places. Patch v3​ should cover them. I've also ​inquired on sage-devel about the sliders.

[mpatel]

I've uploaded a new jQuery UI package that tweaks patches/sage/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css to set up thinner handles for both horizontal and vertical sliders (cf. "the middle one" at ​sage-devel):

• ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/5447/jqueryui-1.7.2.p3.spkg

[jason]

Okay, positive review.

However, please use ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/jqueryui-1.7.2.p3.spkg

I just deleted one file that was leftover (a .orig file) and removed said file from the repository.

Nice work!!

[mpatel]

Thanks! Sorry about not being explicit about my not wanting to fiddle further with the sliders.

[mpatel]

If the new jQuery UI package needs a review: Positive.
