Nothing is working, nothing is where its supposed to be... I just want to use the dialog() functionality. I found the demo @ http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/
For "dependencies", the only requirement looks to be "UI Core". Downloaded UI Core (plus about 1000 other files that I have no idea as to their purpose). No readme or anything, so I dig through and finally find ui.core.js. Link it into my test page. Try to run $(foo).dialog() and I get "object doesn't support this property or method". Console tells me the jQuery.ui exists though. Found the "getting started" page here: http://jqueryui.com/docs/Getting_Started Jumped to the section "After downloading: Intro to using jQuery UI". It suggests there should be an index.html in the root directory. There is not. Also suggests that there should be a CSS directory from the root, again this is missing. I found an index.html in a demos directory, although after opening the page in a browser I can clearly see that there are no demos included under Interactions, Widgets, and Effects. Links under "About jQuery UI" and "Theming", although looking like they should open in the middle framed area, actually open in a new tab (FF 3.5). I tried opening it in IE 8, but clicking a link first gave a $.datepicker error, then it somehow forward to the jQuery UI website. Nice demo? The page is completely broken and doesn't work in the latest releases of the 2 most popular browsers. I played with the theme thingy a bit more and then downloaded core again, and now there is a CSS directory.... still no index.html in the root, and still no functioning $().dialog(). Getting frustrated, I opened ui.core.js in my editor, did a ctrl-f search for "dialog", and found no references. I honestly was just trying to test out what I thought was one of the more basic examples (no extra "widgets" or anything required), and not a single thing is like the documentation says and nothing is even close to working. Am I doing something fundamentally, egregiously...wrong? Or is this one of those projects where its every-man-for-himself-to-get-this- stuff-working?
