jQuery UI setup

Question

I just downloaded jQuery UI but when I downloaded it it came with a bunch of different files & I'm confused if I need to use them all & where I need to put them.

I have:

css/ development-bundle/ js/ index.html

I copied the folder inside the "css" dir & put it in my local css folder.. this seemed to contain the CSS & images for the theme I downloaded with it. I then copied the "jquery-ui-1.8.12.custom.min.js" file from the "js" dir & put it inside my local js dir; however now I'm wondering do I need to copy stuff from the "development-bundle" folder & if so what?

It contains..

demos docs/ external/ themes/ ui/ misc text files jquery-1.5.1.js

Only stuff that looks like I might need is from the "external" dir which has a few js files in there & maybe the "themes" dir.... but I thought this was already covered previously? Also..... the files inside the "ui" directory appear to be all the related js files to what I selected for my custom bundle download + another "jquery-ui-1.8.12.custom.js" file.

You only need the js and css folders in order to use jQueryUI. The development folder is used more for demos and trying things out. It has each plugin in a separate file to allow you to pick and choose features. So, just use the js and css folders and import the files in there to your HTML.

Thanks a lot! I have the file "jquery.effects.blind.min.js" as a separate file inside the dev folder, if I want to use this in my page do I need to include this separately as well or is it already included within the main js file I will be including?

It will probably be in the main js file. But, it just depends on how you built the download, as jQueryUI lets you build a custom download. You could always try using the functionality without including the file and see if it works, but my guess is that it's already there.

No problem! Hope you have fun with it all!
