2. JQuery?
• Mo?va?on
– Simple
things
may
require
lot
of
coding
– Common
browsers
are
different
and
implementa?on
varies
• Solu?on,
use
a
framework
– jQuery
is
a
fast
and
concise
JavaScript
Library
that
simplifies
HTML
document
traversing,
event
handling,
anima?ng,
and
Ajax
interac?ons
for
rapid
web
development.
3. How?
• Download
JQuery
file
(hOp://jquery.com/)
– hOp://code.jquery.com/jquery-‐1.7.1.min.js
• Make
your
xhtml
page
and
reference
to
the
file
in
script
block
• Make
your
code
and
use
JQuery
func?ons!
4. <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
// When document is ready to be manipulated
jQuery(document).ready( pageReadyToBeManipulated );
function pageReadyToBeManipulated() {
// If link is clicked
jQuery("a").click( linkClick );
}
function linkClick(event) {
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
// Prevent the default action
event.preventDefault();
}
//]]>
</script>
5. Some
Basic
Syntax
• JQuery
can
be
used
in
two
ways:
– JQuery()
– Or
– $()
• $
is
an
alias
to
JQuery()!
$
more
commonly
used
6. <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
// When document is ready to be manipulated
$(document).ready( pageReadyToBeManipulated );
function pageReadyToBeManipulated() {
// If link is clicked
$("a").click( linkClick );
}
function linkClick(event) {
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
// Prevent the default action
event.preventDefault();
}
//]]>
</script>
8. // EVEN SHORTER SYNTAX, FORGET THE DOCUMENT PARAMETER
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$().ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(event){
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
event.preventDefault();
});
});
//]]>
</script>
9. GeOers
in
the
Tradi?onal
Way
• getElementsById
• getElementsByTagName
• getAttribute
10. JQuery
and
Selectors
• Select
all
h1
elements
– $(“h1”)
• Select
the
first
one
– $(“h1”)[0]
• Add
contents
– $(“h1”)[0].innerHTML
=
“hello!”;
• Lot
of
different
selectors
– hOp://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/
11. Crea?ng
Elements
in
Tradi?onal
Way
• createElement
• createTextNode
• setAttribute
• appendChild
• removeChild
12. JQuery
Insert
$().ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(event){
// Insert the new element after element with id here
$("<p>New Element</p>").insertAfter("#here");
event.preventDefault();
});
});
16. Modernizr
• Small
JS
library
for
detec?ng
browser
features
• Replaces
highly
unreliable
user
agent
sniffing
• Feature
detec?on
for
each
browser
what
the
browser
can
or
cannot
do
• Tests
over
40
features
– Creates
Modernizr
object
containing
the
results
17. How
• Download
and
install
modernizr.js
• Add
– <html
class=“no-‐js”>
• Modernizr
replaces
this
– <html
class=“canvas
canvastext
geoloca?on..”>
• Classes
for
every
feature
it
detects!
