You may need to get two other jQuery UI Widgets: Dialog and Position.

I had the same issue: downloaded the demo, and manipulate.html did not work. In my case, it was throwing an error on page load:

$("#dialog").dialog is not a function
   close: function() { 

And the page had 404s: jquery.ui.position.js jquery.ui.dialog.js

So, the page had dependencies that were unexpected, and not included in my custom download. I went back and got another custom download from http://jqueryui.com/download

Once the demo could resolve jquery.ui.dialog.js it worked, because the dialog function existed:

typeof $("#dialog").dialog
"function"
