WHAT IS JQUERY?
 jQuery is a library of JavaScript Functions.
 jQuery is a lightweight "write less, do more" JavaScript
library.

 The jQuery library is stored as a single JavaScript file,
containing all the jQuery methods.
 It can be added to a web page with the following mark-
up:
 <head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
</head> 2

DOWNLOADING JQUERY
 You can download jQuery library from
jQuery.com
 If you don't want to store the jQuery library on your own computer,
you can use the hosted jQuery library from Google ,Microsoft or
jQuery website.
 Google
<script type="text/javascript" src="
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
 Microsoft
<script type="text/javascript" src="
http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js">

HOW JQUERY WORKS?
 The $() function is an alias for the jQuery() function .
 This returns a special Java-Script object.

 This JavaScript Object contains an array of DOM
elements that matches the selector.
 Selector is key thing in jQuery development.

 It is away to select node from DOM. This Java-Script
object possesses a large number of useful predefined
methods that can action group of elements.

4


HOW JQUERY WORKS?(CONT’D)
 This type of construct is termed a wrapper because it
wraps the matching element(s) with extended
functionality.
 Here $(object) is called jQuery wrapper around the
object.
 jQuery has a ready element that checks
the document and waits until document is ready to be
manipulated.
 It searches for the reference files for framework, once it
finds it then control goes to the function specified.
 What ever code mentioned in the function that gets
5
executed. Event handling also can be implemented here.

STARTING WITH JQUERY
 We load the Jquery library as any external JavaScript file.

script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>

 Now we loaded the Jquery library
 As almost everything we do when using jQuery reads or
manipulates the document object model (DOM), we need to
make sure that we start adding events etc. as soon as the
DOM is ready.
 To do this, we register a ready event for the document.
$(document).ready(function() {
// do stuff when DOM is ready
}); 6


JQUERY SYNTAX
 The jQuery syntax is tailor made for selecting HTML
elements and perform some action on the element(s).
 Basic syntax is: $(selector).action()
 A dollar sign to define jQuery
 A (selector) to "query (or find)" HTML elements
 A jQuery action() to be performed on the element(s)
 Examples:
 $(this).hide() - hides current element
 $("p").hide() - hides all paragraphs
 $("p.test").hide() - hides all paragraphs with class="test"
 $("#test").hide() - hides the element with id="test"

7


SELECTORS
 With normal JavaScript, finding elements can be
extremely cumbersome, unless you need to find a
single element which has a value specified in the
ID attribute.
 jQuery can help you find elements based on their
ID, classes, types, attributes, values of attributes
and much, much more.
 It's based on CSS selectors and as you will see
after going through this tutorial, it is extremely
powerful.

8


SELECTORS(CONT’D)
 You can instantiate the jQuery object simply by
writing jQuery() or even shorter using the jQuery
shortcut name: $(). Therefore, selecting a set of
elements is as simple as this:

$(<query here>)

 With the jQuery object returned, you can then
start using and altering the element(s) you have
matched.

9


SELECT DOM ELEMENTS
 Selecting DOM elements through document
based on the css selectors.
 The #id selector

$(“#d1").text("Test");

});

 This code will be applied on only one element
whose ID attribute is d1.
10


SELECT DOM ELEMENTS(CONT’D)
 The .class selector

$(“.para").text("Test");
});

 This code will be applied on all elements with the
.para class

11


 The element selector

$(“div").text("Test");
});

 This code will be applied on all <div> tags

12


$("#d2 span").text("Test");
});
 This code will be applied on all span elements
within the element whose ID attribute is #d2.

$("span.bold").text("Test");
});
 This will match all span elements with "bold" as
the class
13


SOME MORE EXAMPLES

Syntax Description
$(this) Current HTML element
$("p") All <p> elements
$("p.intro") All <p> elements with class="intro"
$("p#intro") All <p> elements with id="intro"
$("p.intro:first") The first <p> element with class="intro"
$(".intro") All elements with class="intro"
$("#intro") The first element with id="intro"
$("ul li:first") The first <li> element of the first <ul>
$("ul li:first-child") The first <li> element of every <ul>
$("[href$='.jpg']") All elements with an href attribute that ends with
".jpg"
14
$("div#intro .head") All elements with class="head" inside a <div>
element with id="intro"

FIND ELEMENTS WITH A
SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTE
 The most basic task when selecting elements
based on attributes is to find all the elements
which has a specific attribute.

 The syntax for this selector is a set of square
brackets with the name of the desired attribute
inside it, for instance [name] or [href].

15


FIND ELEMENTS WITH A
SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTE(CONT’D)
 Example.

$(“[id]").text("Test");
});

 We use the attribute selector to find all elements
on the page which has an id attribute and then
add text to it. As mentioned, this will match
elements with an id element no matter what
their value is 16


FIND ELEMENTS WITH A SPECIFIC
VALUE FOR A SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTE
 Here's an example where we find elements with a
specific value:
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link 1</a>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_self">Link 2</a>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link 3</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function()
{
$("a[target='_blank']").text("new window");
});
</script> 17


VALUE FOR A SPECIFIC
ATTRIBUTE(CONT’D)
 what if you're looking for all elements which don't
have the value? Inverting the selector is very easy:

$("a[target!='_blank']").append(" [same window]");

The difference is the != instead of =, a common way of
negating an operator within many programming
languages.

18


VALUE FOR A SPECIFIC
ATTRIBUTE(CONT’D)
 And there's even more possibilities:
 Find elements with a value which starts with a specific
string using the ^=operator:

$("input[name^='txt']").css("color", "blue");

 Find elements with a value which ends with a specific
string using the $= operator:
$("input[name$='letter']").css("color", "red");

Find elements with a value which contains a specific
word: 19
$("input[name*='txt']").css("color", "blue");

PARENT/CHILD RELATION
SELECTORS
 jQuery also allows you to select elements based on their
parent element. There are two variations:
 One which will only match elements which are a direct child
to the parent element.
 And one which will match all the way down through the
hierarchy, e.g. a child of a child of a child of a parent element.

20


PARENT/CHILD RELATION
SELECTORS(CONT’D)
 The syntax for finding children which are direct
descendants of an element looks like this:

$("div > a")
 This selector will find all links which are the direct child
of a div element.

 Replacing the greater-than symbol with a simple space
will change this to match all links within a div element,
no matter if they are directly related or not:
21
$("div a")

JQUERY EVENTS
 The jQuery event handling methods are core functions in jQuery.
 Event handlers are method that are called when "something
happens" in HTML. The term "triggered (or "fired") by an event" is
often used.
 $("button").click(function() {..some code... } )
 EX:
 $(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").hide();
});
});

22


JQUERY EVENTS(CONT’D)
 Here are some examples of event methods in jQuery:
Event Method Description

$(document).ready(function) Binds a function to the ready event of a
document
(when the document is finished loading)
$(selector).click(function) Triggers, or binds a function to the click event of
selected elements

$(selector).dblclick(function) Triggers, or binds a function to the double click
event of selected elements

$(selector).focus(function) Triggers, or binds a function to the focus event
of selected elements

$(selector).mouseover(function) Triggers, or binds a function to the mouseover
event of selected elements
23


JQUERY EVENT HOVER() METHOD
 Specifies a function to run when the mouseenter and mouseleave events
occur.
 If only one function is specified, it will be run for both the mouseenter and
mouseleave events.

 $(selector).hover(inFunction,outFunction)

 $("p").hover(function(){
$("p").css("background-color","yellow");
},function(){
$("p").css("background-color","#E9E9E4");
});

24


JQUERY EVENT PAGEX, PAGEX
 The pageX() property is the position of the mouse pointer, relative to the
left edge of the document.
 $(document).mousemove(function(e){
$("span").text("X: " + e.pageX + ", Y: " + e.pageY);
});

25


FADING ELEMENTS
 Doing simple animation is very easy with jQuery.
 One of the effects it supports out-of-the-box, is fading an
element in and out of visibility using the fadeIn()
method.
$("#divTestArea1").fadeIn();
 You can fade a lot of different elements, like divs, spans
or links.
 The fadeIn() method can take up to three parameters.

26


FADING ELEMENTS(CONT’D)
 The first one allows you to specify the duration of the
effect in milliseconds, or "fast" or "slow", which is the
same as specifying either 200 or 600 milliseconds.

$("#divTestArea21").fadeIn("fast");

$("#divTestArea22").fadeOut("slow");

$("#divTestArea23").fadeIn(2000);

27


 The second parameter can either be the name of an
easing function.
 Easing As of jQuery 1.4.3:
 An optional string naming an easing function may be
used.
 Easing functions specify the speed at which the
animation progresses at different points within the
animation.
 The only easing implementations in the jQuery library
are the default, called swing, and one that progresses at
a constant pace, called linear.
 More easing functions are available with the use of
28
plug-ins, most notably the jQuery UI suite.

 The third parameter is a callback function that you
may supply, to be called once the effect is done.

$("#divTestArea3").fadeIn(2000, function()
{
$("#divTestArea3").fadeOut(3000);
});

29


 There may be situations where you want to fade an
element in our out depending on its current state.
 You could of course check if it is visible or not and then
call either fadeIn() or fadeOut(), but the nice jQuery
developers have supplied us with a specific method for
toggling an element, called fadeToggle().
 It takes the same parameters as fadeIn() and fadeOut(),
so it's very easy to use.
$("#divTestArea4").fadeToggle("slow");

30


SLIDING ELEMENTS
 sometimes a sliding effect is a better choice, and for
that, jQuery has a set of matching methods for doing
just that.

$("#divTestArea1").slideDown();
 For hiding the box again, we can use the slideUp()
method. They both take the same set of parameters,
which are all optional.
$("#divTestArea21").slideDown("fast");
$("#divTestArea22").slideUp("slow");
$("#divTestArea23").slideDown(2000); 31


SLIDING ELEMENTS(CONT’D)
 In case you want to simply slide an element up or down
depending on its current state, the jQuery developers
have provided us with a nice slideToggle() method for
doing just that.

$("#divTestArea4").slideToggle("slow");

32


CUSTOM ANIMATIONS WITH THE
ANIMATE() METHOD
 With the animate() method, you can create custom
animations where you manipulate pretty much any
numerical CSS property of an element.
 This allows you to e.g. move a box slowly across the
screen or have it jump up and down.

$("#divTestBox1").animate({"left" : "200px”});

 The first, and only required, parameter of the animate
function is a map of the CSS properties that you wish to
have altered. In this case, we have an absolutely
positioned div element, which we tell jQuery to move 33
until it has reached a left property of 200 pixels.

CUSTOM ANIMATIONS WITH THE
ANIMATE() METHOD(CONT’D)
 The second parameter allows you to specify the
duration of the animation in milliseconds or as "slow" or
"fast" which is the same as 600 or 200 ms.

$("#divTestBox1").animate({"left":"200px”},2000);

 As the third parameter, we can specify a callback
function to be called once the animation is done. This
can be very useful for performing a number of different
animations in a row.

34


STOPPING ANIMATIONS WITH THE STOP()
METHOD

 Sometimes you need to stop an animation before it
finishes, and for this, jQuery has the stop() method.
 It works for all effects related jQuery functions, including
sliding, fading and custom animations with the animate()
method.
<a href="#“ onclick="$('#Testdiv1').slideDown(5000);">Show</
a>

<a href=“#" onclick="$('#Testdiv1').stop();">Stop</a>

 When you click the first link, the slideDown() method is used on our
div element, starting a slow slide down. A click on the second link 35
will kill the current animation being performed on the selected
element.

STOPPING ANIMATIONS WITH THE STOP()
METHOD(CONT’D)

 This is the default behavior of the stop() method, but
two optional parameters allows us to do things differently.

 The first parameter specifies whether the animation
queue should be cleared or not.

 The default is false, which means that only the active
animation will be stopped, allowing any queued
animations to be performed afterwards.
 The second parameter tells jQuery whether you would
like for it to just stop where it is, or rush through the
animation instead, allowing for it to finish. 36


ADDING CSS
$("#cssSpan").css(“background–color”,“Yellow”)

This will add a css style to the element with the
#cssSpan id
To group more than one property:

$("#cssSpan").css(
{'background-color':'Yellow','color':'black’}
);

37


GETTING AND SETTING CSS CLASSES
 it's equally easy to manipulate the CSS of elements.

 jQuery gives you easy access to changing both the
style attribute, which you manipulate using the css()
method, as well as the class(es) of an element, where
several different methods lets you modify it.

38


GETTING AND SETTING CSS
CLASSES(CONT’D)
 The class attribute takes one or several class names,
which may or may not refer to a CSS class defined in
your stylesheet.
 Usually it does, but you may from time to time add
class names to your elements simply to be able to
reach them easily from jQuery, since jQuery has
excellent support for selecting elements based on their
class name(s).
 addClass("bold")

 removeClass("bold")

 hasClass("bold")
39


GETTING AND SETTING CSS
CLASSES(CONT’D)
 toggleClass()
 With this method we can switch on/off the css class.

$("#test").toggleClass('heighlight');

 And also we can add multiple classes for multiple
elements.
$("#test span, #test b").addClass("c1 c2");

 Here we select the span and the b tags in the #test
and add c1 and c2 classes to them separated by a space
40


THE APPEND() AND PREPEND() METHODS
Adding new stuff to existing elements is very easy with
jQuery.
 There are methods for appending or prepending, taking
HTML in string format, DOM elements and jQuery
objects as parameters.

$('#TestList').append('<li>Appended item</li>')
 The new item will be inserted as the last tem

$('#TestList').prepend('<li>Appended item</li>')
 The new item will be inserted as the first item of the list
41


THE APPEND() AND PREPEND()
METHODS(CONT’D)
 both the append() and the prepend() method takes an
infinite amount of new elements as parameters.

var item1 = $("<li></li>").text("Item 1");
var item2 = "<li>Item 2</li>“;
var item3 = document.createElement("li");
item3.innerHTML = "Item 3“;
$("#TestList").append(item1, item2, item3);

42


THE APPENDTO() AND PREPENDTO()
METHODS
 There are variations of the append() and prepend()
methods, called appendTo() and prependTo().

 They do pretty much the same, but they do it the other
way around, so instead of calling them on the elements
you wish to append/prepend to, with a parameter of
what is to be appended/prepended, you do the exact
opposite.

 $('#TestList').append('<li>Appended item</li>')
 $('<li>Appended item</li>').appendTo('#TestList')
43


THE BEFORE() AND AFTER() METHODS
 in some cases, you need to insert things before or after
one or several elements.
 jQuery has the before() and after() methods for just
this purpose.

$('input.test1').before('<i>Before</i>')
 An italic tag will be inserted before each input element on the page
using the "test1" class.

$('input.test1').after('<i>After</i>')
 A bold tag will be inserted after each input element on the page
using the "test1" class. 44


THE BEFORE() AND AFTER()
METHODS(CONT’D)
 Both after() and before() allows you to use HTML
strings, DOM elements and jQuery objects as
parameters and an infinite amount of them as well.
$("#spnTest2").after(element1, element2, element3);

 There are variations of the before() and after() methods,
called insertBefore() and insertAfter().

$('#test').before('<i>Before</i>')
$('<i>Before</i>').insertBefore('#test')

45


THE REMOVE() AND EMPTY() METHODS
 The remove() method will delete the selected element(s),
while the empty() method will only delete all child
elements of the selected element(s).

$("#test").remove();
$("#test").empty();

 See the Example

46


THE REMOVE() AND EMPTY()
METHODS(CONT’D)
 he remove() method comes with one optional parameter,
which allows you to filter the elements to be removed,
using any of the jQuery selector syntaxes.
 You could of course achieve the same simply by doing
the filtering in your first selector, but in some
situations, you may be working on a set of already
selected elements.
$("#test b").remove(".bold");

 See the Example
47


CHAINING IN JQUERY
 Chaining is essential to writing good jQuery.

//without chaining
$("#menu").fadeIn('fast');
$("#menu").addClass(".active");
$("#menu").css('marginRight', '10px');

//with chaining
$("#menu").fadeIn('fast')
.addClass("active")
.css('marginRight', '10px');
48


CHAINING IN JQUERY(CONT’D)
 jQuery methods return a jQuery object.
 After you've run a method on your selection, you can
continue running more methods.
 The obvious benefit is you write less code, But your code
also runs faster.
 In the first snippet without chaining every single row
tells jQuery to first search the entire DOM for an object,
and then run a method on that object.
 When we use chaining, jQuery only has to search for the
object one single time.
49


THE CHILDREN() METHOD
 Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements,
the .children() method allows us to search through the
children of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a
new jQuery object from the matching elements.
 The .children() method optionally accepts a selector
expression of the same type that we can pass to the $
() function.
 If the selector is supplied, the elements will be filtered by
testing whether they match it.
NOTE:
The children() method only travels a single level down
the DOM tree 50


THE FIND() METHOD
 It Is like the children() method.

 Get the descendants of each element in the current set of
matched elements, filtered by a selector, jQuery object, or
element.

 But the find() method can traverse down multiple levels
to select descendant elements

51


THE NEXT() METHOD
 Get the immediately following sibling of each element in
the set of matched elements.
 If a selector is provided, it retrieves the next sibling only
if it matches that selector.

 Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM
elements, the .next() method allows us to search through
the immediately following sibling of these elements in the
DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the
matching elements.
52


THE NOT() METHOD

$(function() { $
("li").not(":has(ul)").css("border", "1px
solid black");
});
 This selects all li elements that have a ul
element as a child and removes all elements from
the selection. Therefore all li elements get a
border, except the one that has a child ul.

53


THE END() METHOD
 Most of jQuery's DOM traversal methods operate
on a jQuery object instance and produce a new
one, matching a different set of DOM elements.
 When this happens, it is as if the new set of
elements is pushed onto a stack that is
maintained inside the object.
 Each successive filtering method pushes a new
element set onto the stack.
 If we need an older element set, we can use
end() to pop the sets back off of the stack.
54


THE END() METHOD
$('ul.first').find('.foo')
.css('background-color', 'red')
.end().find('.bar').css('background-color', 'green');

 This chain searches for items with the class foo within
the first list only and turns their backgrounds red.

 Then end() returns the object to its state before the call
to find().

 So the second find() looks for '.bar' inside <ul
class="first">, not just inside that list's <li class="foo">,
55
and turns the matching elements' backgrounds green.

TRAVERSING METHODS

56


JQUERY HEIGHT() AND WIDTH()
METHODS
 jQuery has two important methods for size
manipulation.
 height()

 width()

 Size Manipulation Examples

 The height() method sets the height of all
matching elements:
 Example

$("#div1").height("200px");

57


EVENTS
 Events in JavaScript are usually something where you
write a snippet of code or a name of a function within
one of the event attributes on an HTML tag.

<a href="#" onclick="alert('Hello, world!');">Test</a>

 And of course this is still perfectly valid when using
jQuery.
 You can bind code to the event of an element even
easier, especially in cases where you want to attach
anonymous functions or use the same code for multiple
events, or even the same code for multiple events of 58
multiple elements.

EVENTS(CONT’D)
 Example:
$("a, span").bind("click", function() {
alert('Hello, world!');
});

 We use the bind method, which is essential when working with
events and jQuery.

59


THE BIND() METHOD
 It will simply attach code to one or several events on a set of
elements.
$("a").bind("click", function() {
alert($(this).text());
});

 It works by selecting all links (<a> elements) and then bind the
anonymous function you see to the click event.

60


THE BIND() METHOD(CONT’D)
 When jQuery calls your method, it will pass information about the
event as the first parameter, if you have specified one or more
parameters on it.
 For instance, the event object passed will contain information about
where the mouse cursor is, which type the event is, which keyboard
key or mouse button was pressed (if any) and much more.

$("#divArea").bind("mousemove", function(event)
{
$(this).text(event.pageX + "," + event.pageY);
});

61


THE BIND() METHOD(CONT’D)
 The bind() method also allows you to pass in data of your own and
access it from the event object.
 This also allows you to set values at the time you bind the event,
and be able to read this value at the time the event is invoked, even
though the original variable you used may have changed.
var msg = "Changed msg";
$("a").bind("click", { message : msg }, function(event) {

alert(event.data.message);
});
 We pass the value as the secondary parameter of the bind() method,
as a map of keys and values. You can pass more than one value by
separating them with a comma. To access the value inside the event
62
handler, we use the data property of the event object. This property
contains sub-properties for each of the values you have passed

THE UNBIND() METHOD
 we used the bind() method to subscribe to events with jQuery.
However.
 You may need to remove these subscriptions again for various
reasons, to prevent the event handler to be executed once the event
occurs.
 We do this with the unbind() method, which in its simplest form.

$("a").unbind();

 This will remove any event handlers that you have attached with
the bind() function.

63


THE UNBIND() METHOD(CONT’D)
 However, you may want to only remove event subscriptions of a
specific type, for instance clicks and doubleclicks:

$("a").unbind("click doubleclick");

 Simply separate the event types with a space.

 Note:
You can unbind events even if it were not added with the bind
function

64


 jQuery allows you to subscribe to the same event type more than
one time.
 This can come in handy if you want the same event to do more than
one thing in different situations.
 You do it by calling the bind() method for each time you want to
attach a piece of code to it.

alert("First event handler!");
});

alert("Second event handler!");
65
$("a").unbind("click");
});

 jQuery allows you to specify a secondary argument, which contains
a reference to the specific handler you would like to remove.
 This way, we can make sure that we only remove the event
subscription we intend to.
 var handler1 = function(){
alert("First event handler!");}

var handler2 = function() {
alert("Second event handler!");}

$("a").bind("click", handler1);
$("a").bind("click", handler2);
// remove one of the two handlers
66
$("a").unbind("click", handler2);


JQUERY EVENT DELEGATE() METH
OD
 The delegate() method attaches one or more event handlers for specified
elements that are children of selected elements, and specifies a function to
run when the events occur.
 Event handlers attached using the delegate() method will work for both
current and FUTURE elements (like a new element created by a script).

 Ex:
 $("div").delegate("button","click",function(){
$("p").slideToggle();
});

67


THE DATA() METHOD
 Store arbitrary data associated with the matched elements.
 It allows us to attach data of any type to DOM elements.

$('body').data('foo', 52);
$('body').data('bar', { myType: 'test', count: 40 });
$('body').data('foo'); // 52
$('body').data(); //{foo: 52, bar: { myType: 'test',count: 40 }}

68


ADD YOUR FUNCTIONS
 You can add your plug-in to jQuery.
 There are 2 basic objects that we will extend:
 jQuery: mainly handles the internal processing.
 jQuery.fn: handles the interaction of elements.
 So if We want to create a general function like
$.post we must use jQuery object.

 But if We need to create a new kind of animation
for our elements, using the power of the jQuery
selectors (for DOM’s elements) we would extend the
jQuery.fn object. 69


ADD YOUR FUNCTIONS(CONT’D)
 We will create a plugin called inputHighlight in
jquery.inputHighlight.js file. Our plugin as you
may suppose will highlight our inputs when They
got the focus, changing their background color to
be more visible.

 See Example

70


JQUERYUI
 jQuery UI provides abstractions for low-level
interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-
level, themeable widgets, built on top of the jQuery
JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly
interactive web applications.
