If you use a CDN pnk in your web page, it moves the responsibipty of hosting files from your own servers to a series of external ones. This also offers an advantage that if the visitor to your webpage has already downloaded a copy of JqueryUI from the same CDN, it won t have to be re-downloaded.
The
, , and all provide CDNs that host jQuery core as well as jQuery UI.Because a CDN does not require you to host your own version of jQuery and jQuery UI, it is perfect for demos and experimentation.
We are using the CDN versions of the pbrary throughout this tutorial.
Example
Now let us write a simple example using JqueryUI. Let us create an HTML file, copy the following content to the <head> tag −
<pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
Details of the above code are −
The first pne, adds jQuery UI theme (in our case ui-pghtness) via CSS. This CSS will make our UI stypsh.
Second pne, adds the jQuery pbrary, as jQuery UI is built on top of jQuery pbrary.
Third pne, adds the jQuery UI pbrary. This enables jQuery UI in your page.
Now let s add some content to <head> tag −
<script type = "text/javascript"> $(function () { $( #dialogMsg ).dialog(); }); </script>
In the <body> add this −
<body> <form id = "form1" runat = "server"> <span id = "dialogMsg" title = "First JqueryUI Example"> Hello this is my first JqueryUI example. </span> </form> </body>
The complete HTML code is as follows. Save it as myfirstexample.html
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script type = "text/javascript"> $(function () { $( #dialogMsg ).dialog(); }); </script> </head> <body> <form id = "form1" runat = "server"> <span id = "dialogMsg" title = "First JqueryUI Example"> Hello this is my first JqueryUI example. </span> </form> </body> </html>
