Writing javascript to create complex UI effects (fading dialog boxes, sliding panels, calendar popups, drag and drops, etc) requires serious coding. And lots of experience with javascript.
Luckily, people have make it easier by creating libraries of javascript methods which allow you to work at a higher level. One of the most popular ones is JQuery.
JQuery has APIs which let you do a lot of DOM manipulation and effects without having to write too much low level code.
More interestingly, people have written even higher level libraries on top of JQuery which create amazing UI effects almost out-of-the-box. For example JQuery-UI comes with dozens of UI controls. Another library called Flot provides interactive charts.
