JQuery short notes


1.      JQuery is a JavaScript library
2.      Features of JQuery
·        HTML element selection
·        HTML element manipulation
·        CSS manipulation
·        HTML event functions
·        JavaScript effect and animation
·        AJAX
·        Utilities
3.      To add  JQuery to a page
<head>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”jquery.js”>
</script>
</head>
JQury tag should be inside <head > tag
4.      Two version of JQuery are available
·        Minified
·        Uncompressed( for debugging and testing purpose)
5.      To use hosted library from Google
<head>
<script =”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js”>
</script>
</head>
6.      JQuery Syntax:
$(selector).action()
7.      Document Ready function skeleton
$(document).ready(function){
-         - - - - - - - -
-          - - - - - - - -
-          - - -- - - - - -
});
This is done to prevent any JQuery code from running before the document is finished loading
Ex.:-     Trying to hide an element that doesn’t exist
            Trying to get size of an image that is not loaded
8.                  JQuery selector allows to select HTML element by
·        Element name
·        Attribute name
·        Content
9.      Element selector example:
·          $("p") selects all <p> elements.
·          $("p.intro") selects all <p> elements with class="intro".
·          $("p#demo") selects all <p> elements with id="demo".
10.  Attribute selection Example: jQuery uses XPath expressions to select elements with given attributes.
·          $("[href]") select all elements with a href attribute.
·          $("[href='#']") select all elements with a href value equal to "#".
·          $("[href!='#']") select all elements with a href attribute NOT equal to "#".
·          $("[href$='.jpg']") select all elements with a href attribute that ends with ".jpg".
11.  CSS selection example:
·          $("p").css("background-color","blue");
12.  Some more Examples

Selector
Example
Selects
*
$("*")
All elements
.class.class
$(".intro.demo")
All elements with the classes "intro" and "demo"
$("p:first")
The first p element
$("p:last")
The last p element
$("tr:even")
All even tr elements
$("tr:odd")
All odd tr elements



$("ul li:eq(3)")
The fourth element in a list (index starts at 0)
$("ul li:gt(3)")
List elements with an index greater than 3
$("ul li:lt(3)")
List elements with an index less than 3
$("input:not(:empty)")
All input elements that are not empty
$(":animated")
All animated elements
$(":contains('W3Schools')")
All elements which contains the text
$(":empty")
All elements with no child (elements) nodes
$("[href='default.htm']")
All elements with a href attribute value equal to "default.htm"
$("[href$='.jpg']")
All elements with a href attribute value ending with ".jpg"
13.  To put JQuery functions in a separate file is always a god idea. To use that js file
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="my_jquery_functions.js"></script>
</head>
14.              The jQuery noConflict() method specifies a custom name (like jq), instead of using the dollar sign.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var jq=jQuery.noConflict();
-          jq(document).ready(function(){
-          - - - - 
-          - - - -
  });
});
</script>
</head>
</html>
15.        The syntax of jQuery's method for making custom animations is:
$(selector).animate({params},[duration],[easing],[callback])
16.        JavaScript statements are executed line by line. However, with animations, the next       line of code can be run even though the animation is not finished. This can create errors. To prevent this, you can create a callback function. A callback function is executed after the current animation (effect) is finished.

17.        Changing HTML Content

·          $(selector).html(content)

·          $(selector).append(content)
·          $(selector).prepend(content)

·          $(selector).after(content)

·          $(selector).before(content)

18.  The css() method has three different syntaxes, to perform different tasks.

·          css(name) - Return CSS property value
·          css(name,value) - Set CSS property and value
·          css({properties}) - Set multiple CSS properties and values

 

19.  The jQuery load() method is a simple (but very powerful) AJAX function. It has the following syntax:
$(selector).load(url,data,callback)

20.  $.ajax(options) is the syntax of the low level AJAX function.
