Button – Enhanced button appearance, turn radio buttons and checkboxes into pushbuttons
Datepicker – Advanced date-picker
Dialog – Show dialog boxes on top of other content, easily and robustly
Menu – Show a Menu
Progressbar – Progress bars, both animated and not
Selectmenu – Duplicates and extends the functionality of a native HTML select element to overcome the limitations of the native control
Slider – Fully customizable sliders
Spinner – Show a Number Spinner
Tabs – Tabbed user interface handling, with both inline and demand-loaded content
Tooltip – Show a Tooltip

Color Animation – Animate the transition from one color to another
Toggle Class, Add Class, Remove Class, Switch Class – Animate the transition from one set of styles to another
Effect – A variety of effects (appear, slide-down, explode, fade-in, etc.)
Toggle – Toggle an effect on and off
Hide, Show - Using the effects above

Position – Set an element's position relative to another element's position (alignment)
Widget Factory – Create stateful jQuery plugins using the same abstraction as all jQuery UI widgets

<script type="text/javascript">
	// Make the element with id "draggable" draggable
	$(function () {
		$("#draggable").draggable();
	});
</script>

<div id="draggable">
  <p>Drag me around</p>
</div>

This makes the div with the ID "draggable" draggable by the user's mouse.
