That's right! All you Drupalers out there know how frustrating it can be to use jQuery 1.3.2 with Drupal 6 and the lack of an "official" contrib solution out there to fix this only makes matters worse.

I've tried a couple methods in the past but have had no luck. However, I finally came across an (apparently) 100% working method to use jQuery 1.5.2 and jQuery UI 1.8.11 Drupal 6!

The solution

Based on a couple discussion threads and patches over on drupal.org I've managed to piece together alternative versions of both jquery_update and jquery_ui that just work!

What are you waiting for? Check out the projects on github, download & enjoy!

Here are the links:

• jquery_update
• jquery_ui

Disclaimer

There is no warranty of any kind for this and you're using these modules at your own risk! I've tested them extensively on javascript-heavy websites and have had no issues whatsoever with vanilla Drupal, Pressflow, Advanced Aggregation (a patch is needed if you want to use Google's CDN), Boost, Date's Popup, Views, Quicktabs, GMAP and a bunch of other modules I can't remember at the moment. If find any issues please use the issue queues, thanks!

Peace!
