Jquery ui alternative

Question

I am currently a site that is heavily dependent on some ui functions through javascript. For example, the ability to validate a web form or open a modal popup. I am working with jquery. I used to use jquery ui for such, but now I am considering other options. The main reason for this is due to the size of the jquery ui js file, which I feel is great for the few points that I use. I understand that the file contains other functions that I do not need.

Any suggestions for validation and modal popup frameworks?

Answer 1

I highly recommend the Kendo user interface . They have very clear code, and it is more a crosshair than the jQuery user interface. In addition, it has a beautiful and modern style (also customizable). Take a look at demos .

Answer 2

You can configure jQuery UI build / download only for what you need to reduce file size.

If you are already doing this and are not satisfied, you can check out jQuery Tools .

Answer 3

There is a fantastic list of useful and absolutely tiny JavaScript frameworks and libraries on Microjs . Most likely they have something for your needs.

Answer 4

I used jQuery TOOLS for several projects; the focus is on providing a lightweight alternative, and both of these components are included.

Answer 5

ExtJS and Dojo are good alternative user interface libraries, but I would not consider them smaller than the jquery user interface.

Answer 6

If you don't mind dropping your MVC and DOM manipulation libraries, use YUI.
