How does a person use jQuery UI controls to dynamically load data?
How does a person dynamically load jQuery UI (like a tab control for example) controls with data and vice versa upload data from them? Is this a good way to use these kinds of controls? Examples and links to examples and or literature about the ideology or methodology behind this would all be helpful.

greeting mikesExpertExchange, , doing an effective user "Tab" browser interface is not that easy, or strait forward thing to accomplish, if you do not have the HTML, CSS and javascript skills to do that task. There are many many prebuilt "Tab" browser javascript add-on available to use. But they too need some experience , especially if you need to implement an exchange with your server database through AJAX, to process user input, , as you say - "upload data from them". I hope you find some ways , for this, but for us experts to be much help, you may need to tell some more about what you need as user input, and as your final result (database, page output) for that page to work.

@Slick812: Thank you for your reply. This will be an on going process, a "work in progress" as my company tries to effectively take some of our websites mobile. I'm sure I will have more detailed and specific questions as I move forward. To your point, and if it helps at all, one of the main concepts we're presently trying to get a grasp of and have a better understanding of, is, what is the best way to communicate to our database if we decide to use jQuery UI controls? Again, I realize that this is a "situation by situation" experiment and thus each hurdle will need to have its details explained so that appropriate suggestions and direction can be given.
