From the "should be simple, but..." files: Trying to get started with jQuery UI. Went to the site, used their custom builder thingy to assemble the parts I need, made myself a custom theme using the Theme Roller, downloaded the zip file thus produced, unzipped it on my local drive. Ok, so I have 37 folders, 311 files, and a total of 2.4 MB. Ain't no way in hell all this is going on the server. What parts do I need to put there?
jquery-ui-1.8.custom.css
, 'images' subfolder with 12 .png imagesdemos.css
, index.html
, plus 18 subfolders, but I'm guessing "not needed"jquery-1.4.2.min.js
and jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js
Also, the file structure. Our server is set up something like this:
As far as I can tell, the jQuery css files assume that (1) each theme is in its own folder, and (2) each folder has its own images subfolder. How can I convince it otherwise? i.e. put the necessary .js files in the 'js' folder, the .css files in the 'css' folder, and the images in the 'images' folder?
I usually copy jquery-ui-1.8.custom.css
and jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js
along with the images to my server. You'll also need the jquery-1.4.2.min.js
file if you do not already have it on your server. The rest I do not use.
If you put the images within your images directory you do not need to change anything.
You really do not need anything in development bundle. It contains a bunch of demos and all the pre-built themes if you want to experiment with them.
