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!
