Work in progress

Many modules are not ready to use yet. If you feel confident, you can try to look at the trunk/ui folder in jQuery's SVN to see if there are undocumented plugins you could need.

A couple that are in the works, but aren't quite ready yet for general consumption, are: Menu, Toolbars, Form Controls, Tree, Splitter, Rich Text Editor, and Uploader
