jQuery UI Patch Landed!

I’m now an official contributer to the jQuery codebase (well, jQuery UI).

This is my first real code contribution to a major open source project. Kind of exciting.

Granted it was only one line of code (started as around 15 lines, but we got it narrowed down to just the one) but it was a big problem for my website (and several other sites) and it took some detective work to track down what the actual issue was.

More on the bug and the fix, here’s the commit on github.
