 * So I have a widget I created, it is your basic widget code with no db connections.
   I have some jQuery within the widget content for a dropdown. When I drag the 
   widget to the sidebar it doesnt bring the jquery with it, after i drag it over
   and hit save then the jquery works… any ideas why? is there a setting im missing?
