Beyond the official documentation, are there any recommended resources for learning to build jQuery plugins. I'm particularly interested in building plugins for the UI libary. I've been looking at the source for some of the official ones, but I've found they all look quite different from each other. Many are not well commented and it i...
What's the best way to load HTML markup for a custom jQuery UI widget? So far, I've seen elements simply created using strings (i.e. $(...).wrap('<div></div>')) which is fine for something simple. However, this makes it extremely difficult to modify later for more complex elements. This seems like a fairly common problem, but I also kn...
The jQuery UI widgets seem to have inactive, active, and hover states, but lack a depressed (clicked-and-held) state. Is this an oversight? Just about every modern UI I can think of have a depressed state. Has anyone added such a state? If so, what pieces of code did you have to touch? Edit: What I should have said is that hovering an...
How can I translate the datepicker from jQuery UI into an other language (german for exaple)? ...
Hi, I've got a Javascript UI component I wrote near a year ago, I've just taken another look at it and, to be frank, it could do with a re-write to make it nice and generic. The implementation uses jQuery 1.2.6 (or higher) and (currently) makes use of some calls to a server side component to get some data...it's basically a glorified t...

What function does jquery ui use to override the default options passed to a plugin on init? My plugin has an option that defaults to "false" and if you specify "true" it does something else. And if you specify an object (a json with more jsons nested) you open a whole bunch of possibilities. i want to set defaults for these options i k...
I want to create a function to simplify configuration of jQuery UI AutoComplete. Here is my function code: (function($) { $.fn.myAutocomplete = function() { var cache = {}; var dataUrl = args.dataUrl; var dataSend = args.dataItem; $.autocomplete({ source: function(request, response) { ...
Is there a jQuery plug-in clearing house or repository? How do you find the functionality you are looking for? My search in particular is to display events on a timeline and to do faceted searching, but I get no where from the clutter that is returned by my searches. ...
Has anyone taken the jQuery split-button buttonset() functionality to make a ready-to-use SplitButton plug-in with the dropdown-menu functionality already built-in, and which is also theme-savvy? ...
Jotform.com uses a nice panel bar, the navigation system in the left side. It looks polished and is rich in functionality. The items have a highlight and have help '?' functionality which display a preview upon hovering. I don't know if they built it themselves. I was wondering if there's a jQuery plugin or UI Framework that helps me bu...
Can someone look at this code. I am using two plugins in the form. One to validate form fields and other to style form fields. Form validation validates form if I am comment out form styling code. ( // $('.ul').jqf1(); ) I want both of the plugins work together. <link href="css/jqf1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src=...
I don't understand why a resizable containment to the container does not factor in padding and margins. See my jsfiddle Is there anything I'm missing? I think something is off for the maxHeight. If it's retrieving outerHeight(true) then I shouldn't also need to include css('margin-(top|bottom)'), but it looks funky without. Also, fo...
