2,955 PointsThanks for trying to be helpful, but I needed all the code elements - coding for jquery-ui.min.js, jquery_ui.css and the script snippet to add to the theme code. Fortunately, I found a plugin - jQuery UI Widgets.

Examples of how to use them are on both pages.

20,306 PointsJames is right. I just want to add a little more info: The 'wordpress way', is to use wp_enqueue_script, usually in your theme's functions.php file. You'll want to add a jquery dependency to it, as jquery UI depends on it.
It can looks something like this (inside functions.php): ``` function theme_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery-ui.js', array( 'jquery' ) ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_scripts');
