Have you tried any of the browser developer tools to make sure jquery-ui.???.js is getting loaded. If you're using FireFox then FireBug is good for that. If you're using a WebKit based browser (Safari or Chrome) then they have the built-in Web Inspector. With any of those tools select the "Resources" tab and look for the JavaScript files downloaded by the browser. That will tell you if jQuery UI is getting loaded correctly. If it is getting downloaded these tools also have JavaScript debuggers built into them, which allow you to set breakpoints and step through execution of JavaScript.
It would serve you well to learn how to use these tools.

They same way you install any JavaScript files in Rails. Put them in the proper place and make sure your layout (or whatever renders the <head> tags) loads the required JavaScript files.
