Advanced jQuery UI: Build Your Own Widgets
jQuery UI makes it easy to create web user interfaces as rich as traditional desktop applications. It's a growing suite of interfaces, widgets, and effects that can make an advanced web UI with drag-and-drop, animation, and standard UI design.
jQuery UI supports all major web browsers, and is as easy to use as
$("Hello, World").dialog();
Not only does jQuery UI provide a suite of tested and documented cross-browser UI components, but it provides a simple mechanism for creating your own UI Widgets, to encapsulate user interfaces and interactions, so custom interface coding is abstracted away and reusable.
This session covers how to use the jQuery UI Widget Factory to build your own jQuery UI plugin, as well as extending existing plugins.
- Note: As this is an advanced jQuery UI session, it is recommended to first attend 'Learning jQuery UI and the jQuery UI CSS Framework'.
