"I know Bryan's AccDC has a whole jQuery collection, but my concern is
that the devs I am working with are going to need copy and paste (for
specific UI components/patterns (or as much as possible), and I think
typical devs find it hard to extract that from AccDC, but Bryan, if
there's an easy way, feel free to let me know (either off or on list)."

Hi, yes, the AccDC for jQuery plugin is just that, a plugin, and all of the accessible widgets in the TSG at the following locale are copy and paste, and can be adapted from those within the Coding Arena folder. I've helped other devs who have done this for large scale mainstream projects.

It's important to note something, jQuery isn't a widget archive, but you are probably referring to jQuery UI which is. All of the widgets in the above url are powered by jQuery.

All the best,
Bryan
