Hi Cesar,
As I said I saw a lot of threads with common issues...and I know the
feeling of answering the newbie posts for 100th time so these
questions get overlooked and left to die out.

Yes I saw that page but thought of 'jumping into' UI since it has most
of the plugins for nice effects...and figured no need to re-invent the
wheel with just core of Jquery.
I have even flipped through the book of Dan Wellman - jQuery UI
1.6....which was as exiting as clicking through the demo pages,
learned nothing of practical use (and saw a proof that it Can be done)
especially since there is a new version of UI out. I downloaded one of
the themes and found a spaghetti of css files calling another set of
css files which then have...chained classes....yay....I should be able
to go through it in about 6 months or so...man what a headache just to
position a few things.
Let's say I want to use sprites on my headings and not 4 classes that
do nothing but add radius to round my object edges....there goes 3 hrs
of my life into nothing.
It is very frustrating to be able to crease xhtml and css how I would
want it to look in 15-20min and then waste days on trying to adopt it
to  jQuery UI. Documentation...beyond technical & dry, 'getting
started' is a page long that points to download...
I know...being a newbie in any field sucks but I also don't want to
copy-paste either.

So the better question would be....do I learn jQuery from scratch and
sort of re-invent the wheel or learn jQuery UI and not question how
things are done?

Thanks for your time!
