Both jQuery and jQuery UI are free and open-source software distributed by the jQuery Foundation under the MIT License; jQuery UI was first published in September 2007.[3][5]
Features
As of the 1.11.4 release, [6] interactions such as draggable/droppable and sortable are supported. jQueryUI comes with fully themeable widgets using a consolidated, coordinated theme mechanism,[7] such as Autocomplete, Datepicker, ProgressBar, Sliders, and more. Effects include color animations, class toggling.
Example
// Make the element with id "draggable" draggable
$(function () {
$("#draggable").draggable();
});
<div id="draggable">
<p>Drag me around</p>
</div>
This makes the div with the ID "draggable" draggable by the user's mouse.
