<!doctype html> 
<html> 
<head> 
 
<meta charset="utf-8"> 
 
<!-- CSS stylesheets --> 
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />

	<p> 
	Content will go here 
	</p> 
 
	</div> 
	<!-- End Wrapper -->

CSS

	margin: 0px; 
	padding: 0px; 
	background-color: #f2f2f2;

	text-align: left; 
} 
 
#wrapper	{ 
	width: 965px; 
	margin: 0 auto;	 
} 
 
 
a:link, a:visited, a:active { 
	color: #009999; 
} 
 
a:hover { 
	color: #000; 
} 
 
.clear	{ 
	float: none; 
	clear: both; 
}

Step 2 - Create external JS file (no content)

An external JavaScript file "jquery-functions.js" needs to be created and added to a folder named "js". This JavaScript file will contain the A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes code required to initialize the various A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI widgets. This tutorial is set up so that you can pick and choose which A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI widgets to include in your web page. A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes code will be added to this file based on the A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI widget you selected.

Step 3 - Download A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes and A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI

Then download the latest version of A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI and copy/upload the jquery-ui .js file to your JS folder. Make sure the ThemeRoller default theme "UI dark" is selected.

In this tutorial, the ThemeRoller default theme "UI dark" is used.

Step 4 - CDN Hosting A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes and A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI

In this tutorial, A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes and A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI are self-hosted on a standalone server rather than using a CDN (Content Delivery Network).

If you prefer to have A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes and A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI hosted by a CDN, you can find links to CDN-hosted copies of A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes and/or A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI in the following locations:

A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes CDN

Microsoft Ajax Content Delivery Network

Step 5 - Reference A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes and A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI Library

We need to make sure that the web page references A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes and the A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI library.

Between the head tags of the web page, directly below Add the following code:

 
<link href="css/ui-darkness/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" /> 
 
<!-- A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes / JavaScript --> 
<script src="js/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script> 
<script src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js"></script>

Step 7 - Remove borders on slider handles - Chrome and Safari

自定义 A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI 小部件主题的综合指南

在跨浏览器测试本教程的演示时，在 Google Chrome 和 Safari Web 浏览器中单击滑块手柄时会显示边框。 Google Chrome 显示黄色边框，Safari 显示浅蓝色边框。

要删除此边框，CSS 代码“outline: none;”已添加到 A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI CSS 样式表中。在“jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.css”文件中找到以下代码行：

 
.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle { position: absolute; z-index: 2; width: 1.2em; height: 1.2em; cursor: default; }

更改这行代码，使其包含“outline: none;”像这样：

 
.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle { position: absolute; z-index: 2; width: 1.2em; height: 1.2em; cursor: default; outline: none; }

您的主题的滑块手柄代码行可能略有不同。找到包含“.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle {position:absolute;......”的行并添加“outline:none;”到该行代码的末尾。

第 8 步 - 升级到较新版本的 A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI

如果您对默认 ThemeRoller 主题的 CSS 样式表进行了大量修改，或者从头开始创建了自定义 CSS 主题，则有必要为未来的 A comprehensive guide to customizing jQuery UI widget themes UI 小部件和插件执行手动更新。
