jQuery UI is a collection of GUI widgets, animated visual effects, and themes implemented with jQuery (a JavaScript library), Cascading Style Sheets, and HTML.
Both jQuery and jQuery UI are free and open-source software distributed by the jQuery Foundation under the MIT License; jQuery UI was first published in September 2007.
As of October 7, 2021 jQuery UI is in maintenance mode, with no new features being planned.
Features Interactions such as draggable/droppable and sortable are supported. jQuery UI comes with fully themeable widgets using a consolidated, coordinated theme mechanism, such as Autocomplete, Datepicker, ProgressBar, Sliders, and more. Effects include color animations and class toggling.
Example // Make the element with id "draggable" draggable $(function () { $("#draggable").draggable(); });
<div id="draggable"> <p>Drag me around</p> </div>
This makes the div with the ID "draggable" draggable by the user's mouse.
