Dimensions Now in jQuery Core
May 9th, 2008
The Dimensions plugin was originally started by Paul Bakaus. By popular demand my offset plugin was merged with the Dimensions plugin. From that point on I contributed several other methods to Dimensions and helped maintain the plugin with Paul. Dimensions became one of the most widely depended on plugins by developers and other plugins. It was a very common request to have Dimensions moved into the core to help relieve plugin dependency issues. We started by moving the most popular methods into the core but that wasn’t enough. The plugin was still a very common dependency. As of SVN Revision 5345 the Dimensions plugin has been merged into the jQuery core. You can find the documentation for the current Dimensions plugin on the jQuery documentation wiki.

This is long overdue if you ask me. There’s only a couple of things I’ve ever worked on that used jQuery and didn’t require the dimensions plug-in, so great work!

Glad to here that it’s finally coming into the core. I too haven’t really had any projects that haven’t used the Dimensions plugin along with jQuery. Congrats and keep up the good work.

Great news! However it does not seem to be working with the packed version of jQuery 1.2.6, so I’m using the minified version for now. Keep up the good work!
