jquery website search bug

[anonymous]

Open jquery.com in Chrome(latest) and click documentation in the jquery search field enter the following string: jquery convert px to integer

an infinite loop occurs...

docs.jquery.com is obsolete content, please refer to api.jquery.com.

The bug then, given that docs.jquery.com is obsolete content, is that clicking documentation takes the user to docs.jquery.com - there should not be links on jquery.com to obsolete content.

This should be fixed with an update tonight. Sorry but we're just between updates on a bunch of sites!

Thanks, much appreciated! I just wanted to point it out because I have reported similar "incorrect" links bugs before and was similarly told that the content was obsolete or "will soon be replaced", yet they remained in place for a very long time. Obviously the functionality of jquery itself is of utmost importance, however I think it is also critically important that the functionality of the jquery.com website is kept up-to-date and that it provides accurate information.

@fastfasterfastest, we're mainly limited by the number of volunteers we have helping us with getting these new sites up. If you've got some time to help with fixing things I know we can find some things for you to do. Documentation is definitely important, if we don't do it right then people report bugs on things that aren't bugs. :P

The documentation folks hang out on #jquery-content on IRC if you're interested in pitching in.

I have been trying to help out by reporting issues I have encountered. I would be happy to help out more if possible, in particular if time and skillsets allow. I'll contact ajpiano if I can find his/her email address.
