Panels should use the jQuery Form module for maximum compatibility

Patch attached. When committing, don't forget to remove the file js/lib/form.js.

Updated patch. Now it uses the jQuery Form module if it's available, otherwise it uses the included jQuery Form plugin.

This implies that if another module uses an included version of the jQuery Form plugin, things will still go bad. Unless they would also check if the Panels 2 module is present and then not add the plugin.

Since the jQuery Form module requires the jQuery Update module, Panels has to be jQuery 1.1.x compatible. It currently isn't. This simple change fixes it: http://drupal.org/node/163509.

Never mind, that doesn't entirely work either, from that other issue: "Note that is will NOT work however when combined with jquery_update.module, which adds various compatibility scripts and breaks the modalContent plugin."

That's bad.

Drupal 6 will ship with jQuery 1.1.x (perhaps even 1.2) by default, so this will have to be fixed anyway. I'd appreciate it if you could give that a look ;)

The Drupal 5 version of this module is no longer maintained.
