Yep,

The problem is here:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

This is arguably a bad idea in general and we should probably host these
ourselves.
