UI Layout – The Ultimate Page Layout Manager Overview This plug-in was inspired by the extJS border-layout, and recreates that functionality as a jQuery plug-in. The UI Layout plug-in can create any UI look you want - from simple headers or sidebars, to a complex application with toolbars, menus, help-panels, status bars, sub-forms, etc. Combined it with other jQuery UI widgets to create a sophisticated application. There are no limitations or issues - this widget is ready for production use. All feedback and requests are welcome as development is ongoing. If you create a good looking application using UI Layout, please let us know. This plug-in is on the jQuery site at: http://plugins.jquery.com/layout
