alternative to jquery ui [closed]

Question

I am currently a site that is highly dependent on some ui features via javascript. For example to ability to validate a web form or opening a modal pop up. I am working with jquery. In the past I have used jquery ui for such but I am now looking at other options. The main reason for such is due to size of the jquery ui js file which I feel is large for the few feautres I use. I understand the file contains other ui features that I do not need.

Any suggestions to ui validation and modal pop up frameworks?

Answer 1

I highly recommend Kendo UI. They have a very solid code and it's more crossbrowser than jQuery UI. Besides it has a beautiful and modern style (also customizable). Take at look at the demos.

Answer 2

You can customize the jQuery UI build/download to only what you need to slim the file size down.

If you are already doing that and aren't satisfied you might check out jQuery Tools.
