-- SUMMARY --

jQuery UI (http://ui.jquery.com/) is a set of cool widgets and effects that
developers can use to add some pizazz to their modules.

This module is more-or-less a utility module that should simply be required by
other modules that depend on jQuery UI being available. It doesn't do anything
on its own.

-- INSTALLATION --
* Copy the jquery_ui module directory to your sites/all/modules directory, so it
  is located in sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/.
* Download the jQuery UI 1.6 release from:
    http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/downloads/list?q=1.6
* Put the downloaded archive into the directory:
    /sites/all/libraries/jquery.ui-1.6.zip

* Extract the archive.  This will create the following sub-directory:

    /sites/all/libraries/jquery.ui-1.6/
* Rename the sub-directory into "jquery.ui":
    /sites/all/libraries/jquery.ui/
  so the actual jQuery UI JavaScript files are located in:

    /sites/all/libraries/jquery.ui/ui/*.js

-- JQUERY UI 1.7 --

The jQuery UI module uses jQuery UI 1.6 because jQuery UI 1.7 requires at least
jQuery 1.3, which is not shipped with Drupal 6. If you absolutely need to move
to jQuery UI 1.7, you can get around this by doing the following:

* Download and install the corresponding jQuery Update module from:

* Put the downloaded archive into the directory:
    /sites/all/libraries/jquery-ui-1.7.zip

* Extract the archive.  This will create the following sub-directory:

* Rename the sub-directory into "jquery.ui":
    /sites/all/libraries/jquery.ui/

* In your module's .info file, add the following line:

    dependencies[] = jquery_ui

  This will force users to have the jQuery UI module installed before they can
  enable your module.
