The website for the book, http://book.learningjquery.com/ , explicitly details: <blockquote> Since these books were published, there have been substantial changes to the jQuery API—especially for jQuery versions 1.2 and greater. The books cover jQuery versions 1.1 through 1.1.3.1 The good news is that many of the changes are welcome additions to the API. Some functions have been removed, however, including all XPath selectors and a few methods such as .lt() and .gt(). An XPath selector plugin is available. </blockquote> So that's it from an authoritative source! Thomas, I can save you the bother.

I'm pretty sure it was written for 1.2 or 1.2.1, because I wouldn't have bought it if it were that out of date, and every example I've tried works perfectly. The book's at my office, so I can't double check. I have Learning jQuery and I use it almost daily.
