The next step is to add custom attributes to the plug-in. The first attribute will allow the plug-in user
to select a jQuery UI theme. Although a text attribute is used to simplify this tutorial, a select list would
be a better option to make theme selection more declarative. If you're not already there, navigate to the
Create/Edit page for the Calendar plug-in and complete the following steps as shown in Figure 11-41.
1.
Click Add Attribute.
2.
Set Scope to Application.
