JQuery is a JavaScript popular framework. It smooths over many of the difficulties that traditionally made JavaScript hard to work with and supports / encourages a unique style of coding driven by CSS-selector based "queries". JQuery code can be surprisingly compact. By default jQuery is accessed via the globally defined function "$" (though "jQuery" should also work).
For example, to hide all the links (in anchor tags) on a page, you could simply write:
$("a").hide();
Or to make all paragraphs of class "quote" have a pink background, and a larger text size:
$("p.quote").css({background: "pink", font-size: "larger"});
JQuery
- Smooths over browser differences (Event-handling, AJAX)
- Incredibly elegant: CSS selectors to "query" the page & manipulate specific content with code
- Pre-fab widgets & behaviors (Draggable, Resizable, Droppable)
JQuery: Hello world
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
console.log("Hello world");
});
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JQuery: Styles Plus
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("p.foo").css({'background': 'pink'});
});
</head>
<body>
<p class="foo">Hello</p>
<p>World</p>
</body>
</html>
Extreme Functions
Javascript functions can be defined "in-place" and be "anonymous".
Traditional for loop:
var words = "Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away".split(" ")
for (var i=0; i<words.length; i++) {
console.log(words[i]);
}
Using jQuery's each:
var words = "Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away".split(" ")
$(words).each(function (i, w) {
console.log(w);
});
There are situations where using each is important! (For making proper closures)
JQuery: Events
