jQuery UI

jQuery UI provides abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets, built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive web applications.

jQuery UI is an [open-source|Open source is an approach to the design, development, and distribution of software, offering practical accessibility to software source code. Some consider open source as one of various possible design approaches, while others consider it a critical strategic element of their operations. Before open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; the term open source gained popularity with the rise of the Internet, which provided access to diverse production models, communication paths, and interactive communities.] library of interface components – interactions, full-featured widgets, and animation effects — based on the stellar jQuery javascript library . Each component is built according to jQuery’s event-driven architecture (find something, manipulate it) and is themeable, making it easy for developers of any skill level to integrate and extend into their own code.

jQuery: The Write Less, Do More, Javascript Library

jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

jQuery supports these browsers:

• Firefox 2.0+
• Internet Explorer 6+
• Safari 3+
• Opera 9+
• Chrome 1+

Any problem with them should be considered and reported as a bug in jQuery.

There are known problems with:

• Firefox 1.0.x
• Internet Explorer 1.0-5.x
• Safari 1.0-2.0.1
• Opera 1.0-8.x
• Konqueror

jQuery generally works with Konqueror and Firefox 1.0.x, but there may be some unexpected bugs since we do not test them as regularly as Firefox 2.0+, IE6+, Opera 9+ and Safari 3+.

A good compatibility test is available in the form of the jQuery Test Suite.
