<script src = “https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js”></script>
<script src = “https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js”></script>

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <link href=
        rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
