jQuery update not replacing js files in Drupal 6.16

I am using jquery update in drupal 6.16 along with a lot of other modules.

I am trying to use jquery ui 1.7.2 to render tabs. But unfortunately they don't work properly since jquery update is not replacing the jquery file (jquery 1.3.2). I checked the version using $.fn.jquery (in firebug) and got 1.2.6 (not 1.3.2 as required) as the result - and as expected the aggregated js file was using the 1.2.6 version of jquery (see source).

earlier I had just replaced the core script files in /misc with th开发者_如何转开发e js files in sites/default/modules/jquery_update/replace folder (like you'd do in 5.x) and got the necessary result (i also renamed jquery.min.js to jquery.js ).

now suddenly that stopped working after i upgraded to 6.x-2.0-alpha1 and also installed the mollom module. disabling/uninstalling mollom or down-grading jQuery update does not seem to help.

the problem only occurs on the front page though. other content pages have jQuery 1.3.2

the problem can be seen here.

So, basically, for some reason, jquery update is not replacing the jquery files (as it is supposed to) on the front page. and i cannot figure out why that happens.

any ideas?

The following issue attempts at solving the problem of an updated jquery not being used. Follow this link to see the whole discussion.

There is a problem with the jquery_update.module file.

Prior to jQuery 1.3.2, all the header information was in the form:

/*
* jQuery 1.2.6 - New Wave Javascript

jQuery Update was matching on the number to see if it should override Drupal's included JS file.

Since v1.3.2, the header information is now in the form:

/*
* jQuery JavaScript Library v1.3.2

The pattern matching fails and the module reverts to Drupal's default jQuery file. The correct replacement pattern should be:

$pattern = '# \* jQuery JavaScript Library v([0-9\.]+)#';

This replacement should be done in the file jquery_update.module, line 91.
