The spkgs are at:

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/notebook/jquery-1.2.6.spkg (standard spkgs)

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/notebook/jqueryui-1.6rc2.spkg (standard spkgs)

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/notebook/jsmath-3.6a.spkg (standard spkgs)

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/notebook/jsmath-image-fonts-1.3p0.spkg (optional spkgs)

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/notebook/tinyMCE-3.2.0.2.spkg (still under consideration)

The last package, tinyMCE, is still under consideration for inclusion. The others have been accepted into either the standard or optional spkg groups.

Jason,

the extcode patch is huge and should not be attached, but should be posted via some link.

Cheers,

Michael

Jason,

the patch is now at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/extcode-remove-javascript-packages.patch

Either way, we should seriously consider resetting the extcode repo since the history is huge and there is relatively little benefit to keep it around considering the size.

Cheers,

Michael

Apply only edit-in-place-and-javascript-spkgs.patch. Ignore the make-javascript-spkgs.patch file.

Note that the edit-in-place... patch also resolves #4255.

I also took the opportunity to clean up some of the javascript code in js.py to use jquery instead of custom code, and to note in comments several places where we could use jquery further to possibly simplify our code or make our code better.

Fixed two more bugs and made sure that applying the edit-in-place patch, the extcode patch from mabshoff's comment, and installing the spkgs above makes this all work on Sage 3.1.4.
