In the jQueryUI framework for Interactions you can do custom functions and they take two parameters 'event' and 'ui'. I know it has to be obvious somewhere but I cannot find out what methods and properties are available on those two parameters.

Does someone know what methods and properties are available on those parameters or where I can I find them?

this is a link for the event object http://api.jquery.com/category/events/event-object/

for UI object it depends on the UI that you are using check this http://docs.jquery.com/UI/

A: 

The documentation is always a good place to start, for instance the stuff you find in the ui object for draggable is available here: http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/. The event object is always the original event that is fired, while the ui object contains information added by jQuery UI.

If you want you can also do your own digging. Using console.log on Firefox with the Firebug and Firequery add-ons, you can look at the insides of both objects. For instance, with this code:

$('#test').draggable({
    start: function(event, ui){
        console.log(event);
        console.log(ui);
    }
});

The ui object looks like:

I didn't realize that the event was the base event. I knew there had to be a way to debug with Firebug but I did not know what it was. Thank you!
