Why jQuery ?
Makes Javascript coding easier.
Increases the speed of development.
Extensive support through community forums and large plugin base for numerous features.
Example:
document.getElementbyId(‘myElement’); $(‘#myElement’)

Main objectives of jQuery
Improving interactions between JavaScript and HTML.
Highly effective, readable and short code.
Almost everything converts to find a certain element and do something on it.

jQuery Selectors
Basic CSS selectors. Example- .myClass, #tableID, a.myLink...
Position based selectors: a:first, p:last...
a:hidden
Showcase example

Selectors continued...
Multiple elements can also be selected to perform a common function on them.
e.g. - $(“div#myDiv, #someID”)

DOM Traversal
$(“div.myDiv”).parent();- returns the immediate parent.
$(“div.myDiv”).next(); - returns the next sibling.
$(“h1:first”).parents(); - returns all parents upto the html tag.

DOM Modification.
$(“div#myDiv”).html(“Some Text.”);
$(“table#myTable).append(“<tr> </tr>”);
Showcase example

Chaining method calls.
Most jQuery methods return another jQuery object representing the same collection.
Thus on the output of one method other methods calls can be chained. This is one of the powerful features of jQuery.
Some methods return a different collection.
In such cases .end() method can be used to revert to the previous collection.
Showcase example: $('div.section').hide().addClass('gone');

Events
Events can be fired when an element is clicked, hovered upon, dragged.
Default events associated with certain elements can also be changed.
Showcase example

Animations
$(“#myDiv”).show(‘slow/fast’);
Showcase Example

Ajax
$.get();
$.post();
$.ajax({
type: ‘get’,
url: '/ajax/method/?parameter=' + param,
dataType: 'script'
});
Showcase Example

Plugins
Extensive Plugin support for many commonly desired functionalities.
Defining custom plugins is also possible with very little effort.
Plugin examples: 1. Tablesorter
2. Facebox

Extending jQuery
jQuery is extensible through plugins, which
can add new methods to the jQuery object.
UI – Widgets.
Showcase example .

Disadvantages.
Compared to other JavaScript libraries jQuery has fewer utility functions.
This issue is countered by using other libraries like Underscore.js which includes many utility functions that Prototype has.
