Official Forums
As of January 19, 2010 the jQuery mailing lists are no longer actively moderated or tracked by the jQuery team. We highly recommend that you move your conversations over to the new jQuery Forum:
More information about the move: https://jquery14.com/day-07/new-jquery-forum
Sub-forums
jQuery has many active subforums where you can feel free to discuss jQuery, ask questions, talk about JavaScript, or announce your plugins.
- Getting Started - this is the best place to post if you are brand new to jQuery and JavaScript.
- Using jQuery - this is the best place to post if you have general questions or concerns. Also, if you've built a site that uses jQuery, or would like to announce a new plugin, this is the place to do it.
- Developing jQuery Core - This mailing list centers around development of the jQuery library itself. Post here if you have questions about certain bugs, development with jQuery, features, or anything in the bug tracker or Git.
- Using jQuery UI - the place to discuss use of jQuery UI Interactions, Widgets, and Effects - Draggable, Droppable, Resizable, Selectable, Sortable, Accordion, Datepicker, Dialog, Progressbar, Slider, Tabs, Theming.
- Developing jQuery UI - the place to discuss development of jQuery UI itself - including bugs, new plugins, and how you can help. All jQuery UI svn commits are posted to this list to facilitate feedback, discussion, and review. Also note that a lot of the development and planning of jQuery UI takes place on the jQuery UI Development and Planning Wiki
- Usigin jQuery Plugins - If you are a plugin author or user and you wish to discuss specific plugins, plugin bugs, new features, or new plugins.
At the bottom of each of the forums is an RSS feed you can subscribe to.
Support Questions
The mailing lists are the right place to ask when you have some unresolved problem with jQuery. To ensure that you'll get a useful answer in no time, please consider the following advice:
- ensure your markup is valid
- use Firebug to see if you have an exception
- use Firebug to inspect the html classes, css. etc.
- try expected resulting html and css without javascript/jQuery and see if the problem could be isolated to those two
- reduce to a minimal test case (keep removing things until the problem goes away, etc.)
- provide that test case as part of your mail, either upload it somewhere or post it on jsbin.com
In general, keep your question short and focused and provide only essential details - others can be added when required.
A lot of issues are IE specific, make sure you cover these:
- Trailing Comma Problem
- Use IE Debugging Tools to get essential information like failing line number
