JQuery

jQuery is a JavaScript Library. jQuery greatly simplifies JavaScript programming. jQuery is a lightweight, "write less, do more", JavaScript library. jQuery simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and

Ajax interactions for rapid web development. The purpose of jQuery is to make it much easier to use JavaScript on your

website.

There are lots of other JavaScript frameworks out there, but jQuery seems to be the most popular, and also the most extendable.

Many of the biggest companies on the Web use jQuery, such as:

• Google• Microsoft• IBM• Netflix

Advantages of jQuery




There are several ways to start using jQuery on your web site.• Download the jQuery library from jQuery.com• Include jQuery from a CDN, like Google

There are two versions of jQuery available for downloading: • Production version • Development version

If you don't want to download and host jQuery yourself, you can include it from a CDN (Content Delivery Network).

Both Google and Microsoft host jQuery.

How to Install




jQuery Syntax

The jQuery syntax is tailor made for selecting HTML elements and performing some action on the element(s).

Basic syntax is: $(selector).action().• A $ sign to define/access jQuery.• A (selector) to "query (or find)" HTML elements.• A jQuery action() to be performed on the element(s).

The Document Ready event is used to prevent any jQuery code from running before the document is finished loading (is ready).

It is good practice to wait for the document to be fully loaded and ready before working with it.




Enable jQuery in your page

• jQuery can be enabled in your page by includingreference to jQuery library file<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js">

• Introduce a jQuery function by using the below below given function.

$(document).ready(function(){//Script goes here});

OR

$(function(){//Script goes here});




JavaScript vs jQuery

• Example 1 - Hide an element with id "textbox“//javascriptdocument.getElementById('textbox').style.display = "none";

//jQuery$(' #textbox' ).hide();

• Example 2 - Create a <h1> tag with "my text“//javascriptvar h1 = document.CreateElement("h1");h1.innerHTML = "my text";document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(h1);

//jQuery$(' body').append( $("<h1/>").html("my text") ;




jQuery selectors are one of the most important parts of the jQuery library. jQuery selectors allow you to select and manipulate HTML element(s). jQuery selectors are used to "find" (or select) HTML elements based on their

id, classes, types, attributes, values of attributes and much more. The jQuery element selector selects elements based on the element name. The jQuery #id selector uses the id attribute of an HTML tag to find the

specific element. The jQuery class selector finds elements with a specific class.

jQuery Selectors




Basic selectors

• TagNamedocument.getElementsByTagName("tagName"); (javascript)$("tagName") - $("div"), $("p"), $("div"),.....

• Tag IDdocument.getElementById("id"); (javascript)$("#id") - $("#name"), $("#address")

• Tag Classdocument.getElementsByClassName("className"); (javascript)$(".className") - $(".comment"), $(".code")

• To select all elements - $("*")




Positional Selectors

Syntax: Examples:$("selector:first") $("p:first")

$("selector:last") $("p:last")

$("selector:odd") $("p:odd")

$("selector:even") $("p:even")

$("selector:eq(i)") $("p:eq(1)")

$("selector:gt(i)") $("p:gt(1)")

$("selector:lt(i)") $("p:lt(1)")




Form Element(Custom) Selectors

$("selector:visible") $("selector:input")$("selector:hidden") $("selector:text")$("selector:disabled") $("selector:password")$("selector:enabled") $("selector:radio")$("selector:checked") $("selector:checkbox")$("selector:selected") $("selector:submit")$("selector:header") $("selector:reset")$("selector:animated") $("selector:image")$("selector:not(selector:not)") $("selector:file")

$("selector:button")




Retrieve, Set and Remove attribute

Syntax: Examples:

• $("selector").attr("name") • $("img").attr("src")

• $("selector").attr("key","val") • $("p").attr("class","source")

• $("selector").attr("key",fn()) • $("img").attr("height",calHt())

• $("selector").attr(properties) • $("img").attr({"src":"/path/","title" : "My Img"});

• $("selector").removeAttr(attr) • $("div").removeAttr("class“)




Class, HTML, Text, Value - Functions

• $("selector").hasClass("className")• $("selector").addClass("className")• $("selector").removeClass("className")• $("selector").toggleClass("className")• $("selector").html()• $("selector").html("html code")• $("selector").text()• $("selector").text("text content")• $("selector").val()• $("selector").val("value")




All the different visitor's actions that a web page can respond to are called events. An event represents the precise moment when something happens. Examples:• moving a mouse over an element• selecting a radio button• clicking on an element

The term "fires/fired" is often used with events. Example: "The keypress event is fired, the moment you press a key".

Events




Commonly Used jQuery Event Methods

click()• The click() method attaches an event handler function to an HTML

element.• The function is executed when the user clicks on the HTML element.• The following example says: When a click event fires on a <p> element;

hide the current <p> element:• Example: $("p").click(function(){

$(this).hide(); });





dblclick()• The dblclick() method attaches an event handler function to an HTML

element.• The function is executed when the user double-clicks on the HTML

element:• Example: $("p").dblclick(function(){

$(this).hide(); });





mouseenter()• The mouseenter() method attaches an event handler function to an

HTML element.• The function is executed when the mouse pointer enters the HTML

element:• Example: $("#p1").mouseenter(function(){

alert("You entered p1!"); });





mouseleave()• The mouseleave() method attaches an event handler function to an

HTML element.• The function is executed when the mouse pointer leaves the HTML

element:• Example: $("#p1").mouseleave(function(){

alert("Bye! You now leave p1!"); });





mousedown()• The mousedown() method attaches an event handler function to an

HTML element.• The function is executed, when the left, middle or right mouse button is

pressed down, while the mouse is over the HTML element:• Example: $("#p1").mousedown(function(){

alert("Mouse down over p1!"); });





mouseup()• The mouseup() method attaches an event handler function to an HTML

element.• The function is executed, when the left, middle or right mouse button is

released, while the mouse is over the HTML element:• Example: $("#p1").mouseup(function(){

alert("Mouse up over p1!"); });





hover()• The hover() method takes two functions and is a combination of the

mouseenter() and mouseleave() methods.• The first function is executed when the mouse enters the HTML element,

and the second function is executed when the mouse leaves the HTML element:

• Example: $("#p1").hover(function(){ alert("You hover p1!");

});





focus()• The focus() method attaches an event handler function to an HTML form

field.• The function is executed when the form field gets focus:• Example: $("input").focus(function(){

$(this).css("background-color", "#cccccc"); });





blur()• The blur() method attaches an event handler function to an HTML form

field.• The function is executed when the form field loses focus:• Example: $("input").blur(function(){

$(this).css("background-color", "#ffffff"); });




Useful Event Functions

.hide() display:true.show() display:none.toggle(func1, func2) first click calls func1, next click

executes func2.hover(over, out) mouseover, mouseout




Effects• show()

Shows the selected elements• Hide()

Hides the selected elements• fadeIn()

Fades in the selected elements• fadeOut()

Fades out the selected elements• fadeToggle()

Toggles between the fadeIn() and fadeOut() methods• slideUp()

Slides-up (hides) the selected elements




slideDown()Slides-down (shows) the selected elements

Finish()Stops, removes and completes all queued animations for the selected elements

Delay()Sets a delay for all queued functions on the selected elements

Animate()Runs a custom animation on the selected elements

Stop()Stops the currently running animation for the selected elements

Dequeue()Removes the next function from the queue, and then executes the function
