jQuery UI Tutorial
jQuery UI is a set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library. Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.
jQuery UI contains many stateful widgets, and its interaction with them differs slightly from typical jQuery plugins. All jQuery UI widgets use the same pattern, so if you learn how to use one, you'll know how to use the others.
Getting Started with Examples
To get a better understanding of what jQuery UI is, please check out the jQuery UI Examples.
In the examples section, the navigation lists all the interactions and widgets provided by jQuery UI. Selecting an interaction or widget will show you some demo configurations of that particular plugin. In each demo, you can view the source code, change themes, and bookmark the URL. For example, you can view the Accordion Widget Fill Space demo page.
