This piece of software really sucks. I've seen a lot of frameworks like script.acolo.us, mootools, prototype starting from the first versions. But - THIS - Plugin is another proof that open source only exists because there are programmers out there who are so bad that they dont find a job and work for free. Bad documentation Bad examples Bad API consistence Bad functionality The main thing is that they have a template engine..WTF? Hey.

Bad documentation
Bad examples
Bad API consistence
Bad functionality

The main thing is that they have a template engine..WTF?

That's how I ended up in this site, searching for jQuery UI resizables examples. In the official documentation there's a lot of "missing parts". You see the example and looks great and when you view the source: $("#example").resizable(); ...just that? Didn't worked for me... I believe there's some option I have to define, but it isn't in documentation. Same with other functions. I think jQuery UI documentation is really bad.

We're definitely trying to faciliate our users/developers. Aaron had mentioned YUI's Patterns as a reference in our last meeting and we're going to see what the big buzz is about. You should probably expect, though, that those kinds of changes won't happen until the next blue moon ;). We have other goals in mind for 1.3.0. :D Thanks Wayne.

Please refer to the API which has 25+ customizable options. The demo on ui.jquery.com only shows its most basic implementation.
