How Do I Use jQuery UI In My Plugin

It’s a sad day in the world when I Google something and it returns nothing. I am trying to use the default datepicker (or ANY datepicker at this point) and am unable to because of my lack of knowledge with WordPress/PHP. In my plugin, I am attempting to register jquery and the ui and apparently am breaking other parts of WordPress in the process. Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong and if they can provide a working solution, I will scrap all of my code:

Settings API with arrays example

I’m using the Wrox WordPress plugin development book as a primary reference for getting started with a new plugin and I understand all settings can be saved as 1 array but the book does’t give an example of this and all the stuff I’m finding on the web seems so different from one example to another. The second half of a post by Konstantin gets me close but I’d really like to see a more complete example with multiple fields.

How can you check if you are in a particular page in the WP Admin section? For example how can I check if I am in the Users > Your Profile page?

I’m building a plugin and I want to add bits of javascript in the admin head but only for certain admin pages. I don’t mean pages as in a WordPress page that you create yourself but rather existing admin section pages like ‘Your Profile’, ‘Users’, etc. Is there a wp function specifically for this task? I’ve been looking and I can only find the boolean function is_admin and action hooks but not a boolean function that just checks.
