I want to use the jQuery UI plugin http://jqueryui.com/docs/Getting_Started so I’ve got everything I need downloaded. I’ve put the files where they need to be and included them in the head like I’m supposed to – all no problems there. But next I get a little stuck due to my utter noobieness.
It says:
Once you’ve included the necessary files, you can add some jQuery widgets to your page. For example, to make a datepicker widget, you’ll add a text input element to your page and then call .datepicker(); on it. Like this: HTML:
<input type="text" name="date" id="date" />JS:
$ ('#date').datepicker();
I want to use the dialog modal window popup with a form in it they’ve got as a demo. http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal-form. The form will popup when someone clicks an image.
As far as I can make out (I’m a beginner with JavaScript) I need to make a hidden div on my page which contains the form. I need to attach it somehow to JavaScript then need to call it when the user clicks the image.
I have no idea if that’s right or wrong. And if it’s right I dunno how to do it. Anyone fancy speeding me along with some directions
