What could be the reason behind my jQuery UI buttons suddenly appearing oversized and lackluster?

Previously, I utilized the jQuery UI to enhance button appearance. However, with this code snippet:

else if (ui.newTab.index() == 3) {
    $('#MediaContent').load('Content/TwainMedia.html');
    $('#MediaContent').css('background-color', '#000000');
    $('button').button();
    $("button:not(:ui-button)").button();
}

The buttons are now oversized and unappealing:

Here is a sample of the HTML structure:

<div class="yearBanner">FICTION</div>

In _SiteLayout.cshtml, I include the jQueryUI .js and .css as follows:

<link href="~/css/excite-bike/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min.js"></script>

How can I revert back to my original smaller and stylish blue jQuery-UI buttons?

Note: The jQuery-UI styling works fine on the tabs, as shown in the screenshot (the desired "excite-bike" theme is applied to the tabs).

UPDATE

My website is now live; however, the buttons on the media tab still lack aesthetic appeal.

You can compare how they appeared on a previous site from which I borrowed code for this one (I essentially copied the entire site to a new directory and made necessary changes):

Once again, here's the jQuery code that successfully styled the buttons using the excite-bike theme in the old site:

$('button').button();

...and I'm referencing jQueryUI like so:

<link href="~/css/excite-bike/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min.js"></script>

...(changed "custom.min.css" to "custom.css") but it no longer produces the intended result. What could be causing this issue?

Answer №1

It was pointed out by Jake Cigar in a discussion on the jQuery forum that in order to properly jQuery-UI buttonize the buttons, the call needed to be made after the HTML content had finished loading. This simple solution worked like a charm:

$('#MediaContent').load('Content/TwainMedia.html',function(){
      $('button').button();
});
