I need an autocomplete selection box for a page, something like JQuery's autocomplete box.
However, adding JQuery and JQuery UI just for that functionality seems like overkill. Is there any lighter alternatives?
This code project example builds an auto-complete from pure javascript with no dependencies on jQuery. Code Project
Checkout DevBridge Ajax Autocomplete: https://github.com/devbridge/jQuery-Autocomplete
We have recently extracted the JS from django-autocomplete-light, giving jquery-autocomplete-light which you might like.

What are the uses of jquery ui ? and why not use jquery instead ?
I've read about Jquery ui in their official site , however , I'm still confused as to what it can do for me and whether I should study it or not ? I'm an aspiring Website Designer.
jQueryUI comes with many components such as slider-bars, accordions and widgets that you won't find with jQuery. jQuery by itself is simply a Javascript abstraction, allowing you to write agile code for the client-side. jQuery is also a dependency for jQueryUI, so you will need it in order to use the latter library.
It's similar to Twitter Bootstrap in its feasibility.
Here are a few demos for you to look over to demonstrate the difference: http://jqueryui.com/demos/
You don't use one instead of the other.
jQuery UI is dependent on jQuery. jQuery UI offers widgets and effects you can use on your website.
JQuery UI does not replace JQuery, it is an extension of it and relies on it. It provides a few widgets like progress bars or date pickers for instance.
Is there any Lightbox-live or overlay library out there that only provides the "basic cross-browser centered popup with a dark background" without attempting to perform requests and display images?
I would like to populate the contents myself using my own JS code which is non-trivial and all of these libraries expecting a link with something displayable inside it are unusable for my simple yet unusual (it would appear) use case...
I've gone over maybe 15 Lightbox clones today and for the life of me couldn't find a simple way to just get the basic overlay functionality without the added fluff. Is anyone familiar with something like that ?
Look into Colorbox. Check the Inline Examples. It works well.

Try jQuery UI dialog!
jQuery Dialog in jQuery UI might be an option to consider.
You can customize the download of the library to give you only the dialog.
Just de-select everything from here and select "Dialog" only (it will select the minimum dependencies for you):

I am using jQuery v1.6.1 and jQuery UI 1.8.12 and, using those JavaScript libraries, I would like to implement a "simple" menu, similar to the one present in the StackOverflow website when hovering over the nickname.
Where I can find some useful tutorial or information about jQuery menus? What do you advise?
Since you are already using jQuery UI have you looked at the Tabs widget?

How about updating to JQuery UI 1.9 and then be using the JQuery UI menu?
I would like to display an alert on my web site.
I could use a library like jQuery, but currently, the site does not use one, and I don't think it is a good idea to add a library just for the sole purpose of an alert box.
Is there any way of styling the alert box, or is there a pure js alternative to something like jQuery modal dialog?
Is there any way of styling the alert box
No, it is browser chrome and you can't touch it.
or is there a pure js alternative to something like jQuery modal dialog?
jQuery doesn't have a modal dialog. jQuery UI does.
There is no pure JS alternative — you are dealing in presentation, so you need CSS.
jQuery UI is pure JS + CSS, and anything you can do with it, you can do by writing the JS and CSS yourself. Look at their code if you want an example.
