Getting somewhere. This works, after a fashion. It looks absolutely
dreadful, but it works. It seems that I have some CSS issues to deal
with.

I also tried using these files:
http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/testing/ui/jquery.ui.core.js
http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/testing/ui/jquery.ui.datepicker.js

That also did not work. So, is there maybe a dependency missing somewhere?

And, while I'm on the subject, I have to say that the method for
retrieving the UI files leaves a lot to be desired. It's great that
they're offered pre-minified and everything. But, if one wants just
the core and a couple of widgets, and to keep them as separate files,
one needs to rename the 3 files, after extracting, from
"jquery-ui-personalized" (or some such). It'd be nice if the files
were named properly when not mixing widgets. I guess it's maybe an
edge case, though. Maybe most people like to package them. Personally,
I generally prefer to load just what I need.

Or, maybe there should be an option to have them zipped up together,
but as separate files.

In any case, I'm going to toss out my goal of keeping to just the code
I need and use the "all" file. That'll save what's left of my hair.
Thanks for nudging me.
