Integrating jQuery with GWT application

[LoneWolf]

Hi.
I want to use jQuery code to use this date picker:
http://ui.jquery.com/functional_demos/#ui.datepicker
The source:
----
$("#basics").datepicker();
<input type="text" size="10" value="click here" id="basics"/>
<style type="text/css">.embed + img { position: relative; left: -21px;
top: -1px; }</style>
----
How to integrate this code in GWT application?
Thanks.

I think Ray Cromwell has put together a GWT port of jQuery. If I
remember right, he called it GQuery. Search the archives and you
might find it.

Check out GwtQuery:

http://code.google.com/p/gwtquery/

It's jQuery, reimplemented in a GWT style to use the fancy compiler,
etc. It generates optimal code for each browser.

Currently we are using GWT 1.4.61 and it seems to me that GQuery works
on GWT 1.5 (which it is now RC1, I think)
Any more ideas?
Thank you all for your time.

Considering this code:

$("#basics").datepicker();
<input type="text" size="10" value="click here" id="basics"/>
<style type="text/css">.embed + img { position: relative; left: -21px;
top: -1px; }</style>

Is it possible to create this HTML element by using GWT DOM API by
hand? and then include
$("#basics").datepicker();
in the GWT HTML page?

I have the same problem: I want o embed jQuery library in my GWT-
created page.
I know about GQuery and I already use GWT 1.5, but I need pure
Javascript jQuery -- I want to make use of some library depending on
it (jQuery modal, http://dev.iceburg.net/jquery/jqModal/).

I've tried to add proper <script src=...> entry in the .xml
configuration, but if I write $(...) in my JSNI methods, the exception
is thrown saying $ is undefined. (Using jQuery(...) doesn't help
either.)

Any idea what should I do?
Thanks,
Piotr

Use $wnd.$ instead.

Oh, I'm just stupid.
I turned out that I have to have the following in my configuration XML
file:
<script src="jquery.js"/>
<script src="jquery.modal.js"/>

I have to call jQuery through $wnd.$ or $wnd.jQuery,

*and* I have to restart the development shell for GWT to see the .js
files.
