This is verified as most of the tutorials' results in IE and FF have passed. For the ACE tests failures, the server side error that occurs when the first test is loaded in TestRunner is: Nov 7, 2012 10:29:51 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot$ViewMap.clear(UIViewRoot.java:1779) at com.sun.faces.config.InitFacesContext.release(InitFacesContext.java:239) at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:577) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:233) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:191) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:298) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProcessor.process(Http11AprProcessor.java:859) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11AprProtocol.java:579) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint$Worker.run(AprEndpoint.java:1555) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

yip.ng added a comment - 07/Nov/12 9:37 PM - edited The changes in jquery-ui.js just add some extra ARIA attributes to the slider handle element. Don't see how it can cause ViewRoot exception. Don't know where to start looking if I can't reproduce it on my machine.
