Useful jQuery URL's

[Bruce]

NetTalk 5 is now using the jQuery framework as the primary client-side JavaScript framework.

While you do not need to know any jQuery to use NetTalk, one of the reasons for choosing it is because it is so powerful, and extendable.

The goal of this thread is to act as a repository for links that may be useful if you are starting out on the jQuery road, and want to learn more.

Good starting points

http://jquery.com/ - The jQuery Home page.
http://plugins.jquery.com/ -- Starting page for the list of jQuery plugins.

Documentation for components integrated into NetTalk

http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/ -- documentation for the DatePicker control (which NetTalk uses for date fields).
http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/ -- documentation for the Accordion control, used for the accordion tabs and menus.
http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/ -- documentation for the Tabs control, used for the "Tabs" tab style.
