I installed jQuery UI... is it working?

The power and flexibility of the jquery library is pretty awesome.  There are a number of reasons that you may want load the files one at a time, or the individual .js files on an as needed basis.

Last week, I completed a blog post on getting jQuery up and running (http://blogthingee.com/blog/getting-jquery-ui-working-drupal-6x)... Now we can see if it is working.

For now, let's just assume you want them all the time, and you want to test them right now, or you simply want to test that you have all of the jquery ui goodness at your fingertips, here is how I would go about it...

There are three lines we will need, and they can be placed in a number of different places in durpal... template.php, custom module, or with some adjustments... the necessary loading can be called from your theme's .info file.

<code>
drupal_add_js('sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/js/jquery-ui-1.7.3.custom.min.js');
drupal_add_js('sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/ui/ui.core.js');
drupal_add_css('sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/themes/base/ui.all.css');
</code>

Now let's give it a test.

Then with a simple jquery line... $('.field-field-fooddrink-image').dialog();

looks like it works :)
