Topic: jQuery UI Widget vs Queue widget example

what is the difference between the 2 examples in the pack other than the colour scheme.

I have made a working uploader for prestashop using plupload but i can not work out the difference between the two or which one to use when upgrading my uploader.

thanks

Re: jQuery UI Widget vs Queue widget example

There is a difference in the code between this too as well. jQuery UI Widget is based on jQuery UI widget framework, while Queue Widget is simply jQuery plugin.

jQuery UI Widget is more robust to be brief.

Re: jQuery UI Widget vs Queue widget example

What do you mean with jQuery UI being more robust? do you recommend to use the UI version?

What are the pros of using the jQuery version then? the size?

And, last but not least, what are the dependencies of UI Widget, I mean I think we need jQuery UI for that, but not the complete jQuery UI...

Re: jQuery UI Widget vs Queue widget example

By more robust I mean that it has more friendly interface to methods and events (badly documented though neutral), it's easily themeable (lot's of themes available directly from jQuery UI web-site: http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/), etc.

Dependencies are (from the header of widget's js file):

/* Depends:
 *    jquery.ui.core.js
 *    jquery.ui.widget.js
 *    
 * Optionally:
 *    jquery.ui.button.js
 *    jquery.ui.progressbar.js
 *    jquery.ui.sortable.js
 */
