jquery (ui) integration library approach

[eluser]leviathan28[/eluser]
I didn't know they were working on a javascript-library, but that's definitely something I'm looking forward to.

About having only a few basic actions: That's what I want it for - I don't know enough about javascript or jquery to write a library for the whole thing (I now realise that the title leads to this conclusion - sorry) and I also want to keep it small and simple.
For me, it's just about having basic things done quickly (and without the need to write any javascript) - like the datepicker, or perhaps a dialog.

Maintenance might be a problem, yes. But I would run into that one with every third party code. So unless I write it all by myself (which I couldn't), there's no other possibility, or do I miss something here?

Google API seems like a good idea, didn't know about that, thanks :-)

I don't quite get why I can't have to fields with ids instead of classes? When I do something like

$this->jquery->add_datepicker('id1');
$this->jquery->add_datepicker('id1');

<input type="text" id="id1">
<input type="text" id="id2">

it works just fine. But it wouldn't be too much of a problem to allow classes as well as ids anyways, I think.

Thanks for the helpful post ^_^
