What are these datepicker widget files for

in Using jQuery UI • 5 years ago

I downloaded the datepicker widget (just the datepicker) from this site and i got all of these file and folders:

However I got the datepicker working ok by just referring to two of them (query-ui.css and /jquery-ui.js) in the following:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="jquery/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$( function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(
{
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
yearRange: "1949:2025"
}
);
} );
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
</body>
</html>

Where can I find out what these other files are for and when to I need to referred to them?

You don’t need them. You should keep them. And make sure you load the images folder to your server as well.

But you should use the .min files instead of the regular files, as they are smaller. Especially when the site is in "production".

Thanks JΛ̊KE for that swift reply. That's a load off.
