# JQuery Initialization Plugin

 * Im trying to write a simple plugin that just initializes JQuery, JQuery UI and
   a few widgets.
 *     ```
       <?php
       	/*
       	Plugin Name: Jquery Initialization
       	*/
   
       	function jquery_enqueuer() {
       		global $wp_scripts;
   
       		if(!wp_script_is('jquery')) wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
       		if(!wp_script_is('jquery-ui-core')) {
       			wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-core');
       			$ui = $wp_scripts->query('jquery-ui-core');
       			$url = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/{$ui->ver}/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css";
       			wp_enqueue_style('jquery-ui-smoothness', $url, false, $ui->ver);
       		}
       		if(!wp_script_is('jquery-ui-tabs')) wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-tabs');
       		if(!wp_script_is('jquery-ui-datepicker')) wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-datepicker');
       	}
   
       	//action to run after wordpress finishes loading but before headers are sent
       	add_action("init", "jquery_enqueuer");
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I used another simple page with a datepicker on it to test this. When I go to
   the page (sorry the page is localhost) nothing happens when I click on the datepicker.
   I right clicked and “Inspect Elements” and go to the “Network” tab. There I noticed
   that jquery.js loads but not jquery-ui or any of the other widgets. Can anyone
   give me some pointers on how to get them to load or any errors in the above plugin.
   Thanks in advance.
