Ctools should include jquery.form as a library

Is there anything that I need to do to get this commited?

Or can I assume that the patch is ok and will be committed once you find the time? :)

Ok, attaching a newer patch that fixes all other instances as well.

This is IMHO major due to the following problem:

It is possible that a late call to e.g. "drupal_add_js('misc/ajax.js');" overrides the previous definition and adds the file as JS_DEFAULT, at the end of the default list (e.g. if called in a preprocess function as in our case due to a call to ctools_ajax_text_button()). If there are then js files which define ajax commands, this results in Drupal.ajax is not defined for them and similar JS errors in IE which then prevent the JS from being executed.

Yes, I guess most uses of ctools_add_js() could probably be replaced by properly using the library pattern but I'd suggest to do that in a separate issue to get these fixes in asap :)

Congrats to your first patch ;)

The patch should be relative to the module directory. (e.g. a/ctools/...) As you seem to be using git, this is easy to fix by using the --relative option to git diff.

git diff --relative=sites/all/modules or something like that.

The patch itself looks good to me.
