Yesterday I had a chance to get my feet wet with the Alpha 1 release of jQuery Mobile for one of my clients. Prior to yesterday I had been working with jqTouch for mobile UI.

If you are using jQuery UI's Autocomplete control, your IE6 users may experience some issues when the autocomplete suggestions overlay a HTML <select> list. The autocomplete suggestions show up behind the select list in Internet Explorer 6.

The new autocomplete widget in jQuery UI 1.8 is a nice addition. While it works great for basic purposes working with ID / value pairs is not so nice out of the box.

Here's a simple tutorial showing how to use jQuery UI's sortable plugin to update a database table's sort order field on the fly using ajax.

Brian Love has released Ext.cfc which allows you to easily use the Ext.js library with ColdFusion. This makes it easy to create a CFGRID like UI in JavaScript, without CFGRID, or ColdFusion 8.

This was also covered on the Ext blog and Ajaxian - nice work Brian!
