STEVE!!!! I ride alongside you in this boat of shame. I have the exact same problem. Portlet interface, two styles of instantiating portlets. Long have I suffered this bug to no avail. I have cheesily and not completely solved the problem by storing the jQuery object in another variable and then extending the jQuery that's "not right" with a copy of the OK one. However, this sucks. And it doesn't work reliably now that I'm trying to solve it in IE.
I've characterised this problem in the past as "plugins falling out of jQuery" and "the bane of my existence" on the jQuery-UI group and here, and I've noticed that it seems to happen after the .load() method is called. I've also noticed that it is really "cramping my style" and "making me want to kill myself." Now that there are two of us, can anyone provide some guidance? Advice? Comfort? --adam On Mar 31, 6:50 am, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am building a portal interface in jQuery (and UI).
