title: alternative to jquery ui
body: <p>I am currently a site that is highly dependent on some ui features via javascript. For example to ability to validate a web form or opening a modal pop up. I am working with jquery. In the past I have used jquery ui for such but I am now looking at other options. The main reason for such is due to size of the jquery ui js file which I feel is large for the few feautres I use. I understand the file contains other ui features that I do not need.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions to ui validation and modal pop up frameworks?</p>
